Wellington Road in Bournemouth goes under the Wessex Way

The yellow pole used to host a Bus Stop sign, for this is the former route of the 17, a service which went from Alum Chine to Throop, taking a tortuous route through the suburbs. It became the 18 in the evenings and on Sundays, which took a slightly different route further north from here. When the Yellow Buses underwent a renumbering in July 2007, the 17 became the 24 and at the same time some of the kinks were taken out of its route, meaning that this bus stop became redundant. The bench remains, though.

A road leading to the railway station's car park and the rear of Halfords and Staples.

When the town-centre by-pass was put through in the 1970s (the green road sign is visible to the left), several of these parallel roads were severed, as can be seen from the map. The 'Road' endings were retained on the western side, while Place and Close and Gardens were substituted for these small sections on the east. This is Portchester Place, while Portchester Road is on the other side; likewise for example Lowther Gardens and Lowther Road, Shelbourne Close and Shelbourne Road, etc. This particular road also happens to mark where Ascham Road would originally have come out on Portchester Road – it can be seen from the map that Ascham Road would have continued roughly north and would have been a relatively major route (running into Bennett Road which is coloured yellow on the map). This explains why the right-hand arm as we look has a large street-light while a typical smaller side-road lamppost is seen on the left.

Quite a salubrious name for a complex comprising two stores! On the corner of the station approach, this site was once occupied by Furnitureland, a store that burnt down about 20 years ago, and part of the old sorting office, which was demolished and replaced alongside about 10 years ago. The roundabout in the picture is the junction of Holdenhurst and Wellington Roads.
