IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Markham Road, BOURNEMOUTH, BH9 1JB

This George V-reign postbox serves typical Bournemouth suburbia, and is in Frampton Road close to its junction with Green Road (left to right) and Murley Road (seen in the distance).

Looking down Murley Road, which turns into Frampton Road in the bottom of the dip, with white rooftops all around. Two days after heavy snow earlier in the week had all thawed, this fresh lot fell from the north this morning, despite the fact that the day started rainy, with large puddles all around. By nightfall, the main carriageways of all roads were clear of snow and ice, so this was a very heavy fall considering that it started and had almost disappeared on the same day.

Mixed Edwardian houses in a road named after Bournemouth's first mayor, Thomas James Hankinson, previously chairman of the Bournemouth Commissioners, later mayor of Bournemouth Borough Council from 1890. http://www.bournemouth.gov.uk/Residents/Historical_Bournemouth/council_history.asp

Mixed Edwardian/1920s housing in Green Road.

Well disguised electricity sub-station, behind a brick facade, at the junction of Green & Abbott Roads.

Bournemouth's heaviest snowfall of the 21st century so far has left this white scene in Maxwell Road. There are no houses on the left in this section, owing to Image

This Elizabeth II-reign postbox is in Maxwell Road, opposite Image and close to the junction with Heron Court Road, which can be seen beyond.

Acland Road is typical of the side streets on this stretch of Charminster: seemingly endless lines of gables curving into the distance, built in the 1920s, before the need for parking was foreseen.

These are mostly large detached houses with a splendid view over the recreation ground on the opposite side of the road.

Looking across the cycle track of Image, with Maxwell Road behind. The path in the foreground is not actually the cycle track but a footpath above; the track is at the foot of a steep slope immediately beyond.
