Moordown: Linden Road
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.

Moordown: Grenfell Road
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.

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.
