IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Cunningham Place, BOURNEMOUTH, BH11 8DZ

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.

Cunningham Place on the road junction with Cunningham Crescent.

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.

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

This lollipop lady on Moore Avenue doesn't seem to have anything to do, but it is only 3.05pm so maybe soon she'll be called into action.

Looking along a path at the back of odd-numbered houses in Moore Avenue. Unlike this path, the one to our right is designated a public right of way, number U31. A short distance ahead of us, where the dark scar in the tarmac comes to an end, an opening in the wall leads to Cunningham Close. See Image for more discussion, and Image] for a view down the path from this top end.

A short link road from Moore Avenue to Cunningham Crescent in the very heart of the West Howe council estate. Behind the sign, we see terraced council houses – West Howe has the whole gamut of housing, from these to semi-detached houses and bungalows to blocks of flats. 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.

A man walks up this short public footpath that leads between houses in Moore Avenue to a path (not also designated a public footpath) running behind them. The end of Cunningham Close is just behind the wall at the back, but the path leads to it only indirectly (see Image). See Image for a view down the path from the end, and Image for a view of the steps on which we are standing.

Looking down this short public footpath from its top end. See Image] for an upward view and more discussion; and Image for a view along the path just behind us, onto which this one leads.
