IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Cox Avenue, BOURNEMOUTH, BH9 3LS

View south down this immaculate residential road just off Muscliffe Lane in the Moordown area of the town with beautifully kept gardens full of colourful flowers.

Cox Close is the grey line which separates the original mid-20th-century housing of Muscliff and the vast early-1980s estate. It is accessed off Cox Avenue, and is the only road on the more modern estate to be named after one of the older roads. It comes to a dead end ahead of us but has pedestrian access to the similar dead end of Moreton Close - all the roads behind us on the large estate are named after Dorset villages. The sign is really most useful for the pedestrian arriving here from the path that runs left-to-right across the picture. It is a modern one, probably put up in the last five years or so when the borough dropped its logo from street nameplates.

Moreton Road is a short residential road forming part of a housing development in Muscliff, on the northern outskirts of Bournemouth. Here, the housing development has been designed to enable pedestrians to pass through, but to prevent motor vehicles from using it as a short cut.

This sign stands, unusually, not at a road junction but at the dead end of the two roads mentioned. A path runs through from here, also to Muscliffe Lane, but there is no vehicular access between the two roads here. It is only this immediate dead end of Moreton Road which falls into my 2km radius from home. Moreton Road is on a large early-1980s estate, all of whose roads are named after Dorset villages. The sign is the same one seen here Image It is a modern one, probably put up in the last five years or so when the borough dropped its logo from street nameplates.

Cox Avenue is almost two roads: from Castle Lane West it heads roughly northeast for a while, and the driving priority of that segment morphs into the more modern Cox Close while a left turn is a continuation of Cox Avenue, northwest to Muscliffe Lane. It is a mix of houses and bungalows. We are looking at the sign on the inside of that 90º turn, confirming the street name both ahead and to the right. The sign is the standard Bournemouth nameplate from the 1980s, affixed with tubular steel which protrudes at each side.
