IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Holloway Avenue, BOURNEMOUTH, BH11 9JS

Leaf Gardens is a cul-de-sac on a small development dating from the early 2000s, on part of Butcher's Coppice, the remainder of which remains a Scout campsite. The sign is a modern one, dating from around 2014-15, by which time the council had replaced the coloured logo, which had been prone to fading after a while, to simple wording BOURNEMOUTH BOROUGH COUNCIL in smaller type. This is photo no.237 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.

Holloway Avenue forms a main route at the western side of the large West Howe 1950s council estate and then continues to the main Ringwood Road outside of the estate, hence the bungalows - patently not council housing - that we see here opposite the end of Duck Lane. The sign is a modern one, 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 road around the periphery of the West Howe housing estate that manages to retain a rural feel. It contains a couple of blocks of council flats at the other end, opposite the entrance to Oak Academy, the local secondary school. The road sign is a mini version of the standard one from around 2005, such as at Image, but the top half of the sign is blank, rather than containing the logo. As this sign would face the sun only in the morning, I doubt that it has faded when the rest of the sign is fine!

Part of the 1950s bungalow development around Bear Cross, we look along Milford Drive past the sign that greets traffic emerging from Exbury Drive, towards its eastern end at Anstey Road. The latter is the boundary of the West Howe council estate, as can be glimpsed by the council semis in the background. The sign is a modern one, from 2010-15 when this more modern, abstract emblem rather than the traditional town coat of arms as the working logo of the council.

Skate park off Hollow Avenue, West Howe.

Looking along this little road of nice bungalows, from the Exbury Drive end. It turns 90º to the left halfway along. The sign is a Bournemouth Borough one with the borough coat of arms, dating from around 2000-2006, possibly a little earlier.

This public footpath from the dead end of Zamek Close reaches its destination, with the turning of Milford Drive opposite. See Image for the view towards us from the pavement ahead, and Image for the next view on the path behind us.

The public footpath from Anchor Road leaves the rear driveway of the shops and heads through this passageway to Benbridge Avenue. See Image for the view behind us onto the shops' driveway, and Image from the view towards us from the end of the path.

This public footpath leads through to Anchor Road, by the shops. Its first segment is this passageway, and it finishes the journey by taking the rear access driveway for the shops. See Image for the next view along the path, and further links to other photos along the route.

Presumably the Hobby Horse shop moved from this outlet to the one two doors down, or vice versa, and subsequently closed – giving the impression of two identical shops, neither still trading. The one with the postbox outside was Anchor Road Post Office until the branch closures of Spring 2004. See Image for a wider view of the shops.
