SZ0795 : East Howe: Aldridge Road

taken 4 years ago, near to Kinson, Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole, England

East Howe: Aldridge Road
East Howe: Aldridge Road
This sign stands on the grass triangle at the junction of Long Road – the other end of Alrdidge Road also comes out on Long Road, further north. The council houses string along in a straight line, ignoring the bends in the road: hence the grass triangle.

The sign is a Bournemouth Borough one which includes the coat of arms.

This is photo no.7 of a series of 451 in my coronavirus lockdown walking project:

My coronavirus lockdown walking project

In response to the global coronavirus pandemic, on 23 March 2020 the government announced a lockdown which effectively confined people to their homes, apart from essential journeys which included vital shopping, to help vulnerable people, and one period of exercise per day.

There was speculation about whether driving to a place of exercise, such as a beauty spot, was acceptable and guidelines were quickly made, that exercise should take place locally and direct from home.

So I drew a 2km radius around my home on a map and set out to walk along, across or past every named street and footpath within this circle.

I found that there are 451 such roads/paths, not including roads whose postal address is part of another road already included (such as some Courts, Terraces and Mews).

I undertook to take a photo of a sign for each one, mainly with some context of the road itself. They can all be viewed, along with my 2km map, here: Link
