IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Daws Place, BOURNEMOUTH, BH11 8TN

A modern, gated, infill development of bungalows off Daws Avenue. The sign is of the ilk of an official council one, but most of the signs like these have the abstract council logo of 2010-15 above the name. I'm not sure whether its absence denotes that the road is private and not adopted. This is photo no.102 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 up Daws Avenue from its northern end, on Turbary Park Avenue. It goes up the eastern edge of Turbary Common and consists mainly of bungalows on each side, although there are a few houses down this end, as we see here. 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.

Looking around the corner from Noel Road down Hazell Avenue from its top end. We glimpse the bungalows which are prevalent in this area, and also the low hedges which separate each pavement from the carriageway. 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, and this one is a prime example of both deteriorations: the blue border fading and the white surface unpeeling.

This shop on the left-hand corner of the Wonderholm Parade has been empty for a couple of years but has recently been opened as a BMX shop. When the shop is closed, by day the shutters are all that can be seen, but by night, small slots in the shutters along with low level interior lighting allow an intriguingly lit peek at what's inside.

A subtly art deco row of shops on the staggered junction of Turbary Park Avenue (left), Kinson Road and Columbia Road (out of shot to the right). It is simply titled 'The Wonderholm' on the central shopfront, and the Royal Mail adds an 'e' on the end and calls it Wonderholme Parade on postal addresses.

This George V-reign postbox is situated in the bungalowy area of East Howe, in Kingsbere Avenue. It has the shadow of a lamppost running right down it at the moment.

Turbary Common is a jewel of countryside hemmed in by housing development & industrial estates. This stream drains the valley mire of Tussock Bog Image
