Spicer Lane, BOURNEMOUTH, BH11 9RL

Westwards from the Poole boundary (which is probably at this road name sign), Spicer Lane continues as a road for about 100m, then as a bridleway into square SZ0496.

The strip of land between the Poole boundary, Magna and Ringwood Roads has 1930s bungalow-lined roads, such as Weldon Avenue.

This postbox is physically in Poole but postally in Bournemouth. We are actually looking at it across the border from Bournemouth: see Image

The Bearwood housing estate was built in the 1980s and had no regard for the borough boundary: in some cases the boundary goes right through houses, such as here in Hull Road. The border is not accurately marked on the 1:50,000 map at this point; it does not coincide with High Howe Lane but is parallel to it a little back from the road.

Immaculate topiary in Hull Road.

The main carriageway in the picture is Knighton Heath Road (right) and Shapland Avenue (left), while High Howe Lane runs behind and ahead of us forming a staggered junction. The segment of High Howe Lane ahead is a dead end leading only to a few houses, but it forms public footpath U14 continuing to Ringwood Road. The course of the footpath at this end is the pavement ahead, and not the main carriageway veering off the straight. See Image for the next view along the course of the footpath, with links to further pictures along the route.

Looking along the northern segment of High Howe Lane as it reaches Shapland Avenue/Knighton Heath Road - see Image for the opposite view and more details. This segment of High Howe Lane is a dead end behind us, leading only to a few houses, but it forms public footpath U14 to Ringwood Road. See Image for the next view along the path behind us, with links to further pictures along the route.

This public footpath is formed by Deepdene Lane, whose junction is in the distance. However, the course of the public right of way includes this path ahead of us, probably the original route of the lane before the junction was reconfigured with modern-day traffic in mind. See Image for the next view on the footpath, and links to further photos along the route.
