IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Cunningham Crescent, BOURNEMOUTH, BH11 8DT

Cunningham Place on the road junction with Cunningham Crescent.

These small barriers alongside a playground are reflected in a large puddle following fairly heavy rain on Christmas morning.

The hub, the centrepiece, the focal point – choose whichever word you like: Cunningham Crescent is the heart of the large 1950s West Howe council estate and it runs a complete 360º ring around the estate's main shopping parade, which we see here. The sign is from around 2000, and it morphed into another design, in blue rather than green and far more widely seen, including BOURNEMOUTH BOROUGH COUNCIL in smaller letters at the top, and the borough coat of arms on the left. This is photo no.98 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.

A playground in the heart of West Howe, a very large council housing estate in northern Bournemouth.

This end of the public footpath coincides with the driveway to the rear of Image It continues as a more typical footpath (below the lamp of the lamppost) to the southern arm of Cunningham Crescent: Image

Many of the footpaths on the West Howe estate and thereabouts have been given names in the last couple of years, a safety initiative whose intention is that, in the event of calling for help, one's location can be more easily described. This one is named Youth Walk as it runs past the back of the Henry Brown Youth Centre (and also the back of the library). It forms half of public footpath U43 - see Image for a view of Youth Walk from the other end, and Image for the course of path behind us, coinciding with the shops' driveway.

On Cunningham Crescent, in the centre of West Howe Estate. Note the slightly ornate lamp post to the right, perhaps to give the area a touch of distinctiveness. http://www.bournemouth.gov.uk/Residents/Libraries/Info/WestHowe_Library_Details.asp

A side road off Cunningham Place, in the middle of the vast 1950s West Howe council estate. The houses cannot really be seen from the end of the road, because they are arranged in a wide circle around the dead end of the road - just behind the back gardens of the houses either side. The sign dates from 2010-15 when this more modern, abstract emblem rather than the traditional town coat of arms as the working logo of the council. This is photo no.97 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.
