West Howe: Hanlon Close
Hanlon Close comes off Grower Gardens, both dead ends for vehicles, and are two of relatively few roads to have been added to the large West Howe council estate since it was built in the 1950s. They are built on the site of the old Heathlands First School, which closed in around 1993 when it amalgamated with Heathlands Junior to become an all-through primary school, and was all accommodated on the Junior site. The school buildings were destroyed by fire shortly after closure and before official demolition was due. 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.180 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.

West Howe: Grower Gardens
Right by the heart of the large 1950s West Howe council estate, Grower Gardens is one of relatively few roads to have been added to the estate since it was built. Along with Hanlon Close which comes off it, it is built on the site of the old Heathlands First School, which closed in around 1993 when it amalgamated with Heathlands Junior to become an all-through primary school, and was all accommodated on the Junior site. The school buildings were destroyed by fire shortly after closure and before official demolition was due. 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. It is currently barricaded in by a small cordon for road works by the gas board. This is photo no.177 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.

West Howe: Gort Road
A short, squiggly road in the heart of the large 1950s West Howe council estate – it comes off the centrepiece, Cunningham Crescent, although we are looking at it from the other end, on Mount Road. The sign is of a design that became prevalent in Bournemouth around 1990 and was in use for most of that decade. Many are starting to look a bit shabby now, the blue border fading and the white surface unpeeling, but this one is in pretty good condition. This is photo no.169 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.

Bournemouth : Cunningham Crescent Bus Stop
The 5b bus picks up some passengers. Soon after this photograph I was approached by two teenage girls who wanted a fag and wondered if I had any.

West Howe: Mount Road
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.
