Just a guess.
Underneath the Redbridge Flyover?

I have no idea what this means, but yay! 
Yes, I think it is indeed the original red bridge of Redbridge, with the railway line to Salisbury in the foreground.
I mean I remember a similarly evocative thread years ago on Saintsforever, but not since. It’s great to see these bits and pieces of what’s now lost, some of which I have the faintest of faint memories.
I thought I got a badge without even knowing it! 
Yes, I remember the Saintsforever one and also just a photos of Southampton one. The problem is, they just drift off down threads, never to be seen. To be fair, there are only, so many photos you can post, without repeating and having different angles.
I am noticing that there are loads of the city centre and the docks (of course), but Bitterne and Woolston, there are just as many. For me though, I am looking for the flower estate and Bassett, where I grew up, but not so many, if any of these 
.
i have always had a fascination of old and new and now even newer, not just of Southampton, but anywhere that I have lived.
I have a few more, but things will slow down after this week, with just the odd post going forwards.
Glad you are enjoying them, as I hope many others are and will as they join.
One of my pictures from that day in May 1976. Taken through the front window of a number 17 bus in Shirley Road.
Cracking thread this, just some of the picures - particularly the Lido which I find amazing - I never went there, never even saw it, but find it amazing that years of years of sucessive councils just see fit to knock down future classics such as this, and rebuild them with buildings which can only be classed as less than ordinary. Having said that, saw something similar in Monaco recently, with amazing buildings being knocked down- difference being, these will be replaced by something other than a bland pre-fab tower block.
Love the Canberra coming home from the Falklands too, there was something about those twin funnels that always made me smile as a nipper coming across the Itchen Bridge on the number 8.
