Crosby Road, BOURNEMOUTH, BH4 8JD

A Victorian postbox, one of those built during the period 1879-1887 when the royal cipher was omitted.

Alumhurst Road leads to Alum Chine, on Bournemouth's coastline. A double-deck bus has just made the steep climb from the bottom of the chine. Visible in the distance are the cliffs at The Needles, at the western end of the Isle of Wight.

The ends of the gardens are slowly but surely falling down into the sea. The structure is of Branksome sands overlayen by terrace gravels, both of which are soft and easily eroded.

These huts are on the beach esplanade at the western end of Bournemouth close to the boundary with Poole.

These colourful huts are some of the many hundreds on Bournemouth sea front overlooking the beach.

This public footpath runs very close indeed to the boundary between Bournemouth and Poole - the brick wall on the right forms the boundary. This segment is marked on Bournemouth Borough's definitive rights of way map as footpath A05, but it seems also to be marked as Poole footpath 63, which is what the sign refers to. Behind us, the path turns left behind the back gardens of the houses, so it is indeed only this straight segment that is in Bournemouth. See Image for a view along the path from the road ahead, and Image for the view behind us.
