SZ0995 : Muscliff: Moreton Road

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

Muscliff: Moreton Road
Muscliff: Moreton Road
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 SZ0995 : Muscliff: Cox Close. 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:

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
