IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Leybourne Avenue, BOURNEMOUTH, BH10 6HB

Leybourne Avenue, at the junction with Brockley Road.

A George VI-reign box – fairly rarely for Bournemouth at least – in Palfrey Road, right by its junction with Leybourne Avenue.

I was annoyed as, currently on crutches, I thought it would be easier to get off the bus here than to have struggled across the road down in Kinson - so you can imagine my frustration when I got off the bus and saw this notice. There is no indication of what injury the box is suffering, but it is clearly more than simply broken (do not use) but rather, dangerous (do not touch). In healthier times it looked like this: Image

A typical Northbourne street of bungalows, viewed the morning after substantial overnight snowfall - Bournemouth's heaviest for 17 years.

Looking along this short suburban road in an area of middle-class bungalows. The sign is a modern one, probably from around 2000, and is not rare in this neck of the woods. It morphed into another design, including BOURNEMOUTH BOROUGH COUNCIL in smaller letters at the top, and the borough coat of arms on the left. This is photo no.6 of a series of 451 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.

This public footpath, from the dead end of Hill View Road, reaches Western Avenue between even numbers 149 and 151. Number 149 has particularly distinctive brickwork on the chimney breasts. See Image] for the view towards us from across the road, and Image] for the next view along the path behind, with links to further photos on the route.

A very short single-segment road linking Western Avenue (this end) and Leybourne Avenue, with no more than half a dozen bungalows on each side. The road sign is a standard one from around 2000-2006, perhaps a little earlier, featuring the borough coat of arms. This is photo no.210 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.

It is just about properly dark on this drizzly evening as we look across Western Avenue along the public footpath to Hill View Road. The path runs between two bungalows, whose side walls abut the path directly. See Image for the view towards us from down the path, with links to further photos along the route.

This public footpath comes from the dead end of Hill View Road and turns a slight corner here, as it heads between two bungalows of Western Avenue before arriving on it. See Image for the view along the path behind us, and Image for the end of the path ahead.

You need a late evening shower close to midsummer's day to view a rainbow while facing this far towards south. And that's exactly what happened this evening - typically, just as I was heading down to the shop! Northbourne Avenue is to the left, and the house with the white frontage wall is its highest odd number, despite its driveway coming out on Leybourne Avenue.
