Where’s your sense of adventure miladdo. That was a brand new bus when that picture was taken. 
the white on black number plates look more cool. I would bring them Back. I would make it Manifesto Pledge.

The voting procedure used two ballots and two envelopes; the yes ballot was in the colors of the Italian flag with fascist symbols, while the no ballot was a white sheet. The voter had to place the ballots in envelopes, put his chosen ballot in the ballot box and return the discarded one to the voting supervisors, de facto allowing them to check what each person had voted. The list put forward was ultimately approved by 99.84% of voters.

Note the oyster beds- once a foodstuff for poor people. The shells could also be mixed into lime mortar and used as a building material. pic.twitter.com/rJuxxiVZtb

This looks like a detail from that 1871 map.

Fascinating …it’s amazing to see how the population pretty much stops north of Bevious Vally … Portswood looks like it’s just fields with the odd house dotted here and there.
No (Cobden)bridge to Bitterne either.
… and the Bargate was in Bitterne Park back then

Some of the old timers have created a great Good Old Days FB page and post gems like this - our World Trade Centre
This is from Google Images of the view today from the same angle

An ariel view of The Dell from the 80’s
and a more recent one of St Marys
PROGRESS !
As a side note, the St Marys shot really highlights the size of the old gasworks plot. It’s hardly surprising that developing the area around the ground is a long term goal for the club or anyone considering taking over.
