Bear Cross: Bournemouth?s highest house numbers
Wimborne Road, which starts a good few miles southwest in the town centre, approaches its end at Bear Cross Roundabout. Set back from the main carriageway via a parallel service road, the last row of bungalows ends with these two, numbers 1821 and 1823. On the other side, the even numbers reach only 1716.

Bear Cross: a postbox has a change of scenery
Since I photographed Image, many changes have taken place to its immediate surroundings.
A pedestrian crossing has been installed directly next to us, and the pavement designated a shared foot/cycle path. To achieve the wider surface required for this, the grass edge has been removed and the postbox now stands directly on tarmac.
The roundabout direction sign, which had stood directly in front of the postbox, has now been moved back a few yards and is visible in the distance. A lamppost has also been re-sited against the premises wall.

Bear Cross: filling station on Ringwood Road
This filling station, incorporating a grocery store and open 24 hours a day, will have had probably its poorest day's trade today - not because the pumps are dry but because the road is wet.
The River Stour at Longham Bridge, half a mile or so behind us, burst its banks midmorning and the A348 had been close all day, from Bear Cross Roundabout just ahead of us.

Bear Cross
This has been an important junction for hundreds of years. It is where the A341 Wimborne Road crosses the A348 Ringwood Road. Its name comes from Beare and before that Bearu meaning wooded.
