Wimborne Road, BOURNEMOUTH, BH11 9AJ

Anstey Road is a residential road in Kinson, in the northern outskirts of Bournemouth.

Durdells Avenue is a residential road in Kinson, in the northern outskirts of Bournemouth. Signs indicate that a speed limit of 20 miles per hour applies on this road.

Looking along Durdells Avenue from its northern end, past this George VI-reign postbox.

This short in-fill cul-de-sac off Anstey Road abuts the back of the even-numbered houses in the 1650s/1660s of Wimborne Road. The houses in Linmead Drive itself are therefore only around the dead end and southern side. It arrives on the local street plan in about 1980. The sign is the standard Bournemouth nameplate from the 1980s, affixed with tubular steel which protrudes at each side. It is surprising that a no-through-road sign is not either incorporated into the sign or standing alongside it, both of which are common arrangements.

Garsdale Close is a residential cul-de-sac in Kinson, in the northern outskirts of Bournemouth.

This cul-de-sac off the main Wimborne Road curves immediately around to the right and has a couple of rows of houses facing each other across a footpath coming back out on the main road a bit further down. It also provides access, by the big tree in the background, into Millhams Mead Local Nature Reserve (see Image). The road sign is a standard one from around 2000-2006, perhaps a little earlier, featuring the borough coat of arms.

Garsdale Close is a small cul-de-sac off the main Wimborne Road and alongside it is an entrance to Millhams Mead local nature reserve, a narrow wood and grassland area abutting a minor course of the River Stour.

Wimborne Road extends from the top of Richmond Hill to Bear Cross roundabout and is the longest in Bournemouth.

A small cul-de-sac off Anstey Road, one of the main roads within the northwest part of the large West Howe council estate. It comprises a few blocks of flats, mainly around the dead end such as the one facing us. The sign is a modern one, from around 2010 when the borough introduced this more modern, abstract emblem rather than the traditional town coat of arms, with no-through-road sign included.

The short Image reaches its journey's end as it opens out into the Millhams Mead local nature reserve (Image]). See Image for a rather dark view back towards us, and Image for the view behind us onto Cudnell Avenue.
