IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
New Road, BOURNEMOUTH, BH10 7DW

The sign stands on a triangle between the 45º-angle pavement turning into the road, and the main pavement of New Road on which we stand. Well-to-do bungalows are the order of the day here; the road turns 90º to the left ahead, to run parallel with the River Stour, and the gardens of the bungalows along the back edge run right down to the riverbank. 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 west along Kinson Park Road past this George V-reign postbox.

Keeble Crescent is a curious name: It is indeed a crescent-shaped road off Keeble Road, but according to some maps only the offshoots leading to the houses are named Keeble Crescent, the actual crescent being part of Keeble Road. The estate dates from the later 1980s on the site of a sports ground or similar.

Looking along this short, curved road of desirable bungalows (although there's a house visible also) from its northeast corner. The road sign dates from 2017/2018: until then, the signage included the words BOURNEMOUTH BOROUGH COUNCIL in smaller type at the top. (Bournemouth Council ceased to exist in April 2019 but the removal of the council name happened before that).

Really a minor lane leading down to the river Stour from New Road, and containing a few bungalows further down, Brecon Close is heavily used by walkers as it leads to the start of the Bournemouth stretch of the Stour Valley Way, the riverside path leading eventually down to Christchurch Harbour. The sign is a modern one, dating from around 2014-15, by which time the council had replaced the coloured logo, which had been prone to fading after a while, to simple wording BOURNEMOUTH BOROUGH COUNCIL in smaller type.

This road leads to the nature reserve and a nice house with a gate.

A nice house with a gate at the end of the road. There is a path leading left and a path leading right - both end up in the nature park.
