IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Lucerne Avenue, BOURNEMOUTH, BH6 3NA

Verona Avenue is a minor residential road in Southbourne, in the eastern suburbs of Bournemouth. In this image, a pigeon is perched on the street lamp to the right.

Alongside this postbox, by the crossroads of Carbery Avenue and Seafield Road, is a drop-box where the postman can store the morning's deliveries for neighbouring streets.

This public footpath is essentially a rear driveway for the shops on Cranleigh Road (just to the right) and leads through to Arnewood Road from here. I cannot find any pertinent information on the rather interesting building also pictured, 100 Irving Road, but my 1975 Kelly's Directory of Bournemouth lists it has having a residential occupant, perhaps surprisingly. See Image for the next photo on the path, with links to further photos along the route.

This public footpath is essentially a rear driveway for the shops on Cranleigh Road (to the left) and leads from Irving Road (ahead) to Arnewood Road (behind us). The intriguing building partly reflected in the puddle is discussed a little more here: Image See Image for the next view of the path ahead, and Image for the next behind us, with links to further photos along the route.

This one hasn't seen a paintbrush for a while!

This is public footpath H16, essentially a rear driveway for the shops on Cranleigh Road (just to the right) and leads from Irving Road (behind us) to Arnewood Road (ahead). The houses on the left are an infill development at the rear of 98 Irving Road and are therefore numbered 98a and 98b. They appear to be part of the same development as the next houses beyond, which are part of Dukes Close and accessed from another nearby side-road. See Image for the next view of the path behind us, and Image for the view towards us from just ahead, with links to further photos along the route.

This is one of seven public footpaths running parallel with and either side of Kimberley Road, serving as rear driveway access to the properties on that road. Complementing the criss-cross arrangements of roads in West Southbourne, they are arranged in the following order: (northeast side of Kimberley Road) Castlemain Avenue - footpath H09 - Beaufort Road - footpath H10 - Stamford Road - footpath H13 - Arnewood Road - footpath H14 - Irving Road (southwest side of Kimberley Road) Beaufort Road - footpath H11 - Stamford Road - footpath H12 - Arnewood Road - footpath H15 [called Irving Lane] - Irving Road Here, we look along footpath H14 from its southeastern end on Irving Road. See Image for the next view on the path, with links to further photos along the route.

Kimberley Road did have a post office till 25 October 2000 although it was never in either of the premises, 86 and 88, pictured here. Large-scale maps show the post office as having been at number 76 with the postbox outside it, so it has probably been moved here since.
