Northbourne: Broadhurst Avenue
A short road within a large area of similar housing - detached bungalows - with the added feature of
Image just along to the left.
The sign is a modern one, probably from around 2000, and is not rare in this neck of the woods. It morphed into a later design, including BOURNEMOUTH BOROUGH COUNCIL in smaller letters at the top, and the borough coat of arms on the left.
This is photo no.51 of a series of 453 in my coronavirus lockdown walking project:

Northbourne: Brockley Road
Looking along a line of bungalows on the east side of Brockley Road, that typify this whole Northbourne area.
The sign is a very recent one, erected since 2017/18 when the council started using plain nameplates, without BOURNEMOUTH BOROUGH COUNCIL in smaller type across the top.

Northbourne: the Crown
A conspicuously large building in the bungalowy back streets of Northbourne, and yet the Crown is not easy to find! The Eldridge Pope pub was originally the Crown & Sceptre but followed the trend of shortening its name about ten years ago, now run by Marston's.

Northbourne: this postbox is unsafe
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:

Northbourne: Alderley Road
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.
