Ensbury Park: Cherries Drive
Cherries Drive is the southbound side of the Ensbury Park gyratory, and was put in in the mid 1980s when this became the A347, diverted from the main Wimborne Road through Moordown and Winton. The other three sides of the gyratory are formed from pre-existing roads. It is named, almost certainly, after the local football club, AFC Bournemouth, who are nicknamed the Cherries.
The sign is the standard Bournemouth nameplate from the 1980s, affixed with tubular steel which protrudes at each side.

Redhill Park Fire Station
Fire station with distinctive tower at the junction of Redhill Avenue & Cherries Drive; the coat of arms above the main entrance is that of Bournemouth, so the building presumably dates to times when Bournemouth had its own fire service. Now operated by Dorset Fire & Rescue Service http://www.dorsetfire.co.uk/index.php?ref=142
