IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Leybourne Close, BOURNEMOUTH, BH10 5PD

This church for the New Life Christian Fellowship is close to Kinson and Northbourne.

On East Howe Lane just South of the junction with Wimborne Road. The church doesn't seem to have a web presence, but from its name, I presume it's Evangelical.

A short cul-de-sac of the detached segment of Leybourne Avenue (Image), appearing on street plans by about 1972, which seems about right judging by the little terrace of council houses which we can see in the distance. The road sign is a standard one from around 2000-2006, perhaps a little earlier, featuring the borough coat of arms and incorporating a no-through-road sign. This is photo no.243 of a series of 453 in my coronavirus lockdown walking project: See https://www.geograph.org.uk/article/My-2020-Coronavirus-Lockdown-walking-project for the complete set of photos.

A little late-70s or early 80s development. The house number, 1376a, can only belong to Bournemouth's longest road, Wimborne Road. This row of houses is similar to those in Graycot Close itself, although semi-detached rather than detached, so is probably part of the same development. (If the houses are smaller than those they replaced, that might explain the 'a' suffix.) The sign is a modern one, from 2010-15 when this more modern, abstract emblem rather than the traditional town coat of arms as the working logo of the council. The no-through-road sign is incorporated into the nameplate.

Looking along this footpath from Wimborne Road to Leybourne Avenue as it crosses the one intervening road, Howton Road. Maps mark the path as running uninterrupted across the road, rather than as two separate paths, as seems to be the norm. Perhaps this indicates that the right of way existed before the road was built. See Image for the next picture ahead, and Image for the next picture behind us.

Looking along the southern segment of this public footpath, from Howton Road towards Leybourne Avenue. By contrast, the northern segment appears to allow cycling: see Image See Image for the next picture ahead of us, Image for the next picture behind.

Looking along a driveway to rear garages of Leybourne Avenue - this first section shares its route with a public footpath to Howton and Wimborne Roads. In the background, the path can be seen heading to the far right while the driveway swings an even sharper right to the backs of the houses. See Image for the next view along the footpath.

The public footpath from Wimborne and Howton Roads nears its journey's end, as it joins forces with a driveway to swing round to the left onto Leybourne Avenue. The official course clearly goes up to the railings and turns sharpish left, but a slight corner has been cut off thanks to a gap in the fence. See Image] for the next view of the (less green looking) path behind us, and Image for a view along the driveway/path from the opening onto Leybourne Avenue.

Looking along this short public footpath as it approaches the detached part of Leybourne Avenue - it arrives here from the main part of Leybourne Avenue, a busy through road. See Image for a picture looking towards us from the end of the path, and Image] for the next view along the path behind us.
