IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
The Avenue, BOURNEMOUTH, BH9 2UW

One of the criss-cross roads on this western side of the main Wimborne Road in Moordown. Wimborne Road, The Avenue and The Grove are the long north-south roads and Maclaren is one of the shorter east-west roads linking them - one of several that include both segments. Desirable detached houses are the order of the day. The sign is a modern one, from 2010-15 when this more modern, abstract emblem rather than the traditional town coat of arms as the working logo of the council. Usually mounted on two short posts, this is a double-sided version mounted on a high pole, common throughout this long straight stretch of Wimborne Road.

Looking across the main Wimborne Road towards this development of social housing, within what was the grounds of Image, which we see to the right. The first dwellings left and right of the access road are joined by way of an arch over the road.

A parade of shops which comprises the even numbers 918-942 Wimborne Road. It is named after Tennyson Road, whose junction is at the far end. It is dated 1926 on the gables at both ends. The parade on the left is Image

Carey Road is one of the criss-cross roads of Moordown, with The Grove running up the west side, The Avenue up the middle, and the main Wimborne Road forming the east side. Carey Road forms an exception, running parallel between The Grove and The Avenue for one segment, while all the others run east-west to form many squares. All the roads have in common these desirable suburban detached houses. The sign is of a simple design which was produced in great numbers, I believe at the back end of the 1980s, and quite a few remain.
