Epiphany CE Primary School, in Shillingstone Drive. For information, see http://www.epiphany.bournemouth.sch.uk/

Modern bungalows in Sturminster Road; local roads all seem to be named after Dorset rural towns or villages.

Shillingstone Drive is a minor road in Muscliff, a suburb of Bournemouth. Here, the road passes a school. Mannequins either side of the road provide a reminder to drivers to slow down and keep an eye out for children.

Green Flag-winning Stour Valley Local Nature Reserve, along the River Stour in North Bournemouth http://www.greenflagaward.org.uk/winners/GSP001423/ Seen here, near the entrance from Granby Road.

Sturminster Road is a short residential road in Muscliff, in the northern suburbs of Bournemouth.

Located near the car park and gives information about the nearby local nature reserve.

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. This is photo no.285 of a series of 453 in my coronavirus lockdown walking project: See Link for the complete set of photos.

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.

A free place to park for people using the nearby riverside path and local nature reserve.

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.
