IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Deacon Gardens, BOURNEMOUTH, BH11 9ED

A small cul-de-sac in the 1950s West Howe council estate, but relatively unusual development from the 80s. The vast majority of the housing in the estate is either original 50s or much more recent infill. The sign is of a simple design which was produced in great numbers, I believe at the back end of the 1980s, and quite a few remain. The white is beginning to peel on many, revealing the silver colour of the metal, but this one is in good condition. This is photo no.103 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.

Hidden behind housing on all four sides and accessed by a path either from Anstey Road or Deacon Gardens, this small playpark is similar to several in the large West Howe council housing estate.

At Deacons Road Park, Bear Cross.

Looking from Image along this public footpath to Anstey Road. See Image for the view onto the road from along the path, and links to a couple of other photos along the route.

Looking along this public footpath from Anstey Road from about halfway along, as the destination on Zamek Close becomes visible ahead. See Image for the arrival on Anstey Road behind us, and Image for the emergence onto Zamek Close ahead.

The public footpath ahead leads to Woodfield Road, and further paths continue the more or less straight course to Youngs Road and Poole Lane. See Image for the next view of the path ahead, and further views all along the route to Poole Lane.

Looking across the corner of the playpark (Image]) and along the public footpath to Anstey Road. The extent of the public right of way is from level with the back garden walls. See Image] for the reciprocal view onto the park from just down the path, and Image] for the view along the path from the far end.

Looking southwest from Creasey Road as the evening sunlight shines on these typical 1950s council houses. The first building is a semi-detached pair while there is a terrace of four in the background. The sign is the standard Bournemouth nameplate from the 1980s, affixed with tubular steel which protrudes at each side. This is photo no.104 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.
