Southbourne Grove, BOURNEMOUTH, BH6 3RN

A narrow lane in three sections serving commercial premises on Southbourne Grove, and residential properties.

Micropub on Southbourne Grove, cunningly semi-hidden by a bus stop - so convenient for routes 1b, 1c & m2. Celebrating its first anniversary, and Bournemouth's second micropub. Internally, a single room, with simple wooden tables alongside wooden benches; service is to table, from a servery and stillage to the rear. Usually, four cask ales are on offer, with a similar number of ciders. Listed in 2017 Good Beer Guide. https://bearbeerfamily.co.uk/the-wight-bear/ The pub is named after an outline of a bear, visible from the nearby Overcliff.

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 East is footpath H03 and it links Grand Avenue (here) with Pine Avenue, and is longer than the other two combined. See Image for a view across Grand Avenue to here from behind us, and Image for a view a little further ahead.

Butchers, bakers, ... couldn't see any candle-stick makers, but Southbourne Grove looks as if it's surviving well as a local shopping centre.
