IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Victoria Avenue, BOURNEMOUTH, BH9 2RN

This new zebra crossing includes lit white sections of the striped posts. They are lit permanently, unlike the Belisha beacons which, of course, flash. The crossing was installed during the summer holidays of 2007 and is no doubt of great benefit to pupils of nearby Glenmoor (girls') and Winton (boys') secondary schools, which operate close to their capacity of 900 children each.

Typical of the roads in this small area loosely known as Victoria Park, Eldon Road comprises desirable, earlier 20th-century detached houses. We see it here from the Victoria Avenue crossroads. The sign is of a design that became prevalent in Bournemouth around 1990 and was in use for most of that decade. Many are starting to look a bit shabby now, and this one has fared better than some - although the blue border is very faded in places. The additional information tells us that numbers higher than 40 / 33 are in the other segment, behind us. The similar sign at the far end says Nos 2-40 and 5-33, the reverse direction. This is photo no.126 of a series of 453 in my coronavirus lockdown walking project: See https://www.geograph.org.uk/article/My-2020-Coronavirus-Lockdown-walking-project for the complete set of photos.

Looking east along Eldon Road, typical in this immediate area with large family houses. It is cut off at this western end, with the main A347 Boundary Road passing directly below us: this view is from the footbridge.

Looking east along the frontages of Image, in the distance, appearing to rise from the very last chimney, might just be discerned the bottom of a very weak rainbow, quite a late one at 8:45pm, although it petered out only a short distance above.

A road junction which takes you from Namu Road, and left of the road is Bengal Avenue, right is Victoria Avenue.

Looking down from the Boundary Road footbridge towards this football ground, among housing in the west of Winton. The car in the foreground is travelling along the A347 Boundary Road, towards the town centre.
