IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Avebury Avenue, BOURNEMOUTH, BH10 7EB

Looking along this very short road, not an avenue in the usual sense of being tree lined, which leads only to Cedar Avenue which has a dead end at both ends. This, its only sign, is of a design that became prevalent in Bournemouth around 1990 and was in use for most of that decade. Supplementary information, such as house numbers or 'leading to' as seen here, are shown in the different font from the road name. Many of these are starting to look a bit shabby now and while the white has deteriorated here, the blue is still ok. This is photo no.21 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.

Looking north along Cedar Avenue from its only access road, Austen Avenue – it comes to a dead end both behind us and ahead. Its bungalows are typical of this northern part of Northbourne and Kinson. Cedar Avenue is one of three roads out of the 451 I visited in my project not to have a nameplate. Google Street View suggests that it has been without one for at least 10 years. However, it does get an honourable mention at the other end of Avebury Avenue: Image This is photo no.65 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.

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).

Cars travel into the heart of Bournemouth from Ferndown on this road.

Stour Park is a holiday campsite in the Northbourne area of Bournemouth.

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.

The first house of Keeble Close is pictured here, along with the main carriageway of Keeble Road. The little housing estate here was built in the later 1980s and is mainly, possibly all, social housing. Keeble Close is signposted rather unusually, with the sign opposite rather than on its own corner, and of an unusual square design.

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

This public footpath leads from Northbourne Gardens to Wimborne Road, ahead of us. Its second half is a driveway access to 1260 Wimborne Road, which is just to our right, behind 1258 which is on the corner ahead. See Image for the view behind us to the more 'path-like' footpath, and Image] for a view here from the path itself.
