Braidley Road, BOURNEMOUTH, BH2 6JX

A postbox at the northern end of Braidley Road, trying its best to conceal itself in bushes.

A welcome sight for the many motorists who use this busy town-centre road is the Southern Gas roadworks apparatus all brought in and stored by the side of the road. The traffic lights, peculiarly, have been left in operational order despite only having a hedge to control! They would remain so all weekend until being collected on Monday (see Image).

A close-up of the traffic lights used during roadworks and featured in Image The roadworks finished yesterday and two of the lights would defiantly shine red throughout the weekend while awaiting collection this morning. They appear almost to be in conference.

The northern/western end of this public footpath from Bodorgan Road, as it arrives on Braidley Road. The course of the path shares a driveway to one of the houses for literally a yard or two at the bottom. See Image for the view up the path from the road, and Image for the next view on the path behind us, with links to further photos along the route.

Looking up the start of this public footpath from Braidley Road. This is one arm of a Y-shape arrangement, with another path coming up in the opposite direction a short distance ahead. As can be seen, the first yard or two shares its route with the driveway of one of the houses. See Image for the view towards us from a little way up the path, and Image for the start of the other path, B17.

The public footpath from Bodorgan Road has just split, and is seen here dropping down to Braidley Road northward. Another path heads southward to the same road - see Image for the view behind us illustrating the junction. See Image for the emergence onto the road ahead.

Now that the Central Drive through Meyrick Park has been permanently closed to traffic (see Image), this warning sign is redundant, since the railway bridge to which it refers is no longer accessible from here.

The public footpath from Bodorgan Road approaches Braidley Road but, just before it does so, splits into a Y-shape. The designation of the main path, B16, continues northbound to the right while path B17 does the southbound job. The carriageway of Braidley Road is just a few yards behind the trees, but still a bit more downhill. See: Image for the path heading up to Bodorgan Road behind us; Image for the continuing path B16, right; and Image for the view down path B17, left.

The public footpath B16 leads up from Braidley Road to Bodorgan Road by turning left just ahead. To the right, path B17 comes up from Braidley Road to perform the same function from the south. See: Image for the view down to this path junction from the left; Image for the view up to the junction from path B17, right; and Image for the view down the path behind us. Each has links to further photos on the routes.

Looking up this public footpath from Braidley Road, as it converges with path B16, which does likewise from the north before heading uphill (right) to Bodorgan Road. See: Image for the view to this path junction from the left; Image for the view to the junction from the right; and Image for the view towards us from ahead. Each has links to further photos on the routes.
