Moordown: Comber Road
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. This is photo no.79 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.

Moordown: Marks Road
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. This is photo no.263 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.

Moordown: at the carwash
Looking diagonally across a former car showroom forecourt, now occupied by a popular hand carwash and valeting service. The spray is catching the sunlight interestingly as we look directly against the sun - especially the car left of centre, whose shadow encroaches across the spray.
