SZ0796 : Kinson: Home Road

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

Kinson: Home Road
Kinson: Home Road
Home Road is a short road in central Kinson, used by buses purely as an easy way of turning round as the Bournemouth-Kinson routes terminate just around the corner from here. As can be glimpsed here, it has detached houses on one side and mainly detached bungalows on the other.

The sign is the standard Bournemouth nameplate from the 1980s, affixed with tubular steel which protrudes at each side. There are much longer names than this that are written in full, but the abbreviation Rd appears here despite the short name!

My coronavirus lockdown walking project :: SZ0795

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
