IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Seabourne Road, BOURNEMOUTH, BH5 2JD

The bus is emerging from Beresford Road; at this point, Seabourne Road (left) become Southbourne Grove.

On service 23 from Tuckton Bridge via Cranleigh Road, taken on the last day of normal trolleybus operation in Bournemouth. This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=137652761

A 1962 Sunbeam MF2B trolleybus on route 21 to Christchurch via Tuckton. It is pictured in Southbourne Grove having come along Seabourne Road from Pokesdown. The feeder cable supplying electricity current to the overhead wiring can be seen at the top of the photo.

At the eastern end of Wentworth Avenue.

A pub which, apparently, ceased trading a few days ago. Certainly, it was closed now as I walked past it.

With a sign that replaces the "i" with a pipe.

The collection plate on the right is the old-style one. The yellow patch is visible from a fair distance and denoted a Sunday collection (this box being outside a post office). However, from 26 October 2007, Sunday collections were discontinued. A Postwatch survey suggested that only about 4% of the population valued this relatively expensive-to-run service. (The sticker bottom-left of this plate would have been affixed during the run-up to that date, stating that Sunday collections would not occur thereafter.) These collection plates were then gradually replaced by those on the left, in Royal Mail's new typeface and giving equal prominence in print size to both weekday and Saturday collections. Quite how one of these was overlooked is quite difficult to fathom; perhaps just one new plate per box was produced and they forgot to remove the other.

Southbourne Lane is split into three sections - West, Central and East - and is essentially a back alley providing rear accesses to shops and flats in Southbourne Grove (parallel to the left). Each section is also a public footpath - Southbourne Lane West is footpath G01 and it links Fisherman's Avenue with Chestnut Avenue. See Image for the view along here from the end just behind us, and Image for the next photo ahead, just by the white van.
