Busy junction, St James Road
The island and road markings in the foreground are part of the junction 'complex' where St James Road is met by Twyford Avenue, Upper Shirley Avenue and Shirley Avenue (straight ahead). Presumably this was once a wide open 'free for all' when the suburb was new and cars were a rare.

On the north side of Branksome Avenue, at the junction with Twyford Avenue. The sign is much older than the other street signs in this area - why has it survived?
