Kinson: Hyde Road
Kinson: Hyde Road
Seen here from Kinson Road, Hyde Road forms the northern and eastern sides of a self-contained square, Burcombe Road forming the south side and, of course, Kinson Road the west. Middle Road crosses the square but there are no other roads meeting it from outside the square.

Hyde Road has a little kink in it, rather inexplicably, with a 90� left and 90� right in quick succession.

The sign is the standard Bournemouth nameplate from the 1980s, affixed with tubular steel which protrudes at each side.

This is photo no.211 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
