Yepā€¦Spring Roadā€¦looking towards the crossroad intersection with Deacon Road and Merryoak Road. :smile: Itā€™s a view taken with a telephoto lens so the view is foreshortened.

Now kids, thatā€™s what happens as you delete from you photo bucket after posting. Of course the link no longer exists. I will edit once I have downloaded then again.

This is is very painful, just to get a few photos up!

They are in a file that I did not delete from my photo bucket account. I deleted as I went so I did not confuse myselfā€¦ Well that worked well. :wink:

But this was the same place about 30 years ago!

Spring Road, Merry Oak. The small line of shops are at the top of the photo on the left hand side of the road, followed by the Merry Oak P.H.

Someone just posted this on Facebook. Fantastic amateur cine, (taken by an unknown Frenchman) of Southampton in October 1930ā€¦lots of easily recogniseable Southampton locations.

Wow, thatā€™s amazing. The very first clip has to be Burgess Road,moving down towards Swaythling. Not sure when those houses were build though? Thought they were after the war?

51

I think the first is Bitterne shops, down Lances Hill, Bitterne Triangle, across Cobden Bridge, Portswood Road shops, Bevois Valley, Hoglands Park, the Docks, Empress of Australia, South Western Hotel, Canute Road.

You are right, the downward slope was to steep for Burgess Road. Wow, just wow. To think these clips are out there from 75 years ago, with very little technology!

1920s, I think.
