SZ0795 : Northbourne: the end of Gillam Road service road

taken 7 years ago, near to Ensbury, Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole, England

Northbourne: the end of Gillam Road service road
Northbourne: the end of Gillam Road service road
Looking across the line of shops in Gillam Road, from the end of the service road in front of them. The main carriageway of Gillam Road is down the sloping grass to the left - the scene is better appreciated here: SZ0796 : Northbourne: Gillam Road shops

Many of the shops have been converted to residential use, but there are still a few - a convenience store, a hairdresser's and a conservatory retailer. The town's driving test centre is also here, but it has been closed for renovation since April 2016 and driving tests are currently conducted from the Poole centre.

Meanwhile, a very short public right of way, footpath E38, comes out by the pillar (we are standing on the footpath) from Western Avenue, just a few yards behind us.

See SZ0795 : Northbourne: footpath E38 to Western Avenue for the view along the path to Western Avenue.
