IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
South Kinson Drive, BOURNEMOUTH, BH11 8AD

The opposing view to Image], we look down the steps forming the public footpath leading from West Howe Close to Paget Road. The dead end of the former is immediately behind us, while the dead end of the latter is a short distance to the left and provides pedestrian access onto Kinson Common. See Image] for a view behind us.

Looking up the steps on this short public footpath from Paget Road, just as dusk starts to fall. See Image for a view down here from the top.

A short public footpath comes up steps from Paget Road and emerges here at the dead end of West Howe Close. See Image] for the view behind us from the wall on the right.

When the large 1950s West Howe council estate was built, Mount Road utilised an original farm track or lane: overlaying older with present-day maps, the course is very obvious. The sign is an early version of a standard Bournemouth design from around 2000, the early version recognisable by a slightly more emboldened typeface, aligned to the left when on two lines or, never on the newer versions, written on a single line as here. This is photo no.286 of a series of 453 in my coronavirus lockdown walking project: See Link for the complete set of photos.

This small postbox is on the corner of Rochester and Ritchie Roads. The surrounding semi-detached houses are typical of this large council estate.

Seen here ascending from Poole Lane, Moore Avenue is one of the chief roads into the large, 1950s West Howe council estate, as attested by the bus stop (there is a more substantial one opposite, out of picture, with bus shelter). After the block of flats, more standard semi-detached council houses take over before more flats are found nearer the centre of the estate. The road sign is a standard one from around 2000-2006, perhaps a little earlier, featuring the borough coat of arms.

Moore Avenue continues up the hill, left, while this public footpath heads right. See Image] for the view towards us from the path ahead, and links to further photos on the path.

This short public footpath comes from the dead end of April Close and comes out ahead on Moore Avenue, which swings round uphill to head behind us to our right. See Image for the view towards us from the pavement ahead, and Image for the next view on the path behind us.

Looking along Moore Avenue as it approaches Poole Lane (distance). The pedestrian who wishes to turn left at the bottom can cut the corner off via this public footpath which takes a much more direct route. See Image for a view up the path towards us, and links to further pictures on the way down.

This public footpath ascends to meet Moore Avenue almost parallel with it - it runs just to our left, at the top of the grass bank. See Image See Image] for a view down onto the path behind us from the top of the grass bank to the left.
