The Avenue, BOURNEMOUTH, BH9 2US

One of the several west-east roads in Moordown, crossing between The Grove, The Avenue and Wimborne Road which run north-south. Some of these roads have two segments, but Comber Road is one of the single-segment roads. The houses in the background, desirable detached ones, exemplify the whole area. The road sign is a standard one from around 2000-2006, perhaps a little earlier, featuring the borough coat of arms.

One of the west-east roads within the Wimborne Road/The Avenue/The Grove part of Moordown, with middle-class detached houses – and one of the shorter ones with only one rather than two segments. 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, such as this one with peeling white section and fading blue border.

One of the latticework of roads which sees The Grove, The Avenue and the main Wimborne Road running parallel, with a series of short roads crossing them. Some cover both segments while others, such as Grenfell Road, only make half the journey. The sign is the standard Bournemouth nameplate from the 1980s, affixed with tubular steel which protrudes at each side.

One of numerous east-west roads which run from Wimborne Road across The Avenue to The Grove – except that Marks Road is the only one which is a dead end. It runs east from The Avenue, almost but not quite reaching Wimborne Road. It is, however, typical of the area in having decent detached houses form the early 20th century. The sign is the standard Bournemouth nameplate from the 1980s, affixed with tubular steel which protrudes at each side.

A short one-segment road at the northern end of a long area of criss-cross roads on this western side of the main Wimborne Road, forming a series of squares. However, at this northern end, the three main north-south roads – Wimborne Road, The Avenue and The Grove sort of converge on one another, and Linden Road therefore runs in a quirky curve. The fine detached houses that typify the whole area give way to bungalows on the northern side. The road sign is a standard one from around 2000-2006, perhaps a little earlier, featuring the borough coat of arms.
