You were correct, Goat.
Iāve walked down from the High Street to catch the Isle of Wight ferry countless times; but, until today, I donāt think Iāve ever really noticed that back-street. Weird.
Anyway, as you say, it hasnāt changed that much in the last 125 years.
Is that Pap waddling down to the Platform in the pic?
Hey Phil, from a distance, the person waddling pass the Platform appears to be a woman.
I donāt know whether that rules out Pap
ā¦ or whether youāve been spending too long on that oil rig again? 
Pap gets that a lot, Halo.
Iād hate to be mistaken for a woman which is why I chose to remove most of my own hair.
Who was it who chose to remove the rest, Bletch? 
Any port in a storm Halo you must remember that 
Btw, page 1 popped up when I opened this thread this morning.
The short chap with the steely gaze and interesting tee-shirt looks familiar, but I just canāt place him.
Heās standing next to you.
Havenāt trawled my way through all of the pages on this thread,but if my memory hasnāt failed me then the record shop was Subway Records. Apologies if someone had already confirmed.
Spent a fair bit of pocket money there as a nipper. Way better than HMV.
bollocks and then I read down a couple of posts only to find Subway Records mentioned
OH HELL! More time to waste online,
The National Library of Scotland have just released a fresh set of 25" to the mile OS maps of selected cities and probably many rural areas from 1842-1952. This is a sample of the Southampton coverage which is completeā¦the edition from 1910. http://maps.nls.uk/view/105987322
This is the general index map to select the area youāre interested in: http://maps.nls.uk/geo/find/#zoom=11&lat=50.9388&lon=-1.4965&layers=64&b=1&point=0,0
I need some more time to explore the site but it looks like the best online source for historical mapping.
Brilliant find LITSL - looks good. Donāt think your time online will be wasted.
I love going back through this thread, but will not be adding any more pictures to it, but pretty proud of the work that has been done. Fun times!
I have far to much promoting my business, cycling and studying to do now.
If you click in the grid box that contains the location youāre looking for it will provide you with a selection of the same area through the different editions on the right of the screenā¦e.g.1850, 1889, 1909, 1935 etcā¦you can trace how the area has developed. Click on the one you want to view and you can zoom in a view in detail. You can even download the map as a .pdf and print it off on your printer.
Brilliant.
Oh my goodness, this is a dream for me. Love it. I will spend far to much time looking at this now. Map porn! 
Bit of cheat, but I donāt care.
The last voyage on the RMS Aquitania.
The fella playing the trumpet is my great grandfather and unionhotelās grandad. Just how did we end up so dinky? 
Cos your great grandma was left to her own devices for long periods of time?
Brilliant watch this! A true gem! The year I was born!
