More about this scene

Between 1903 and 1935 Waterlooville and Portsmouth were linked by tram. London Road is not the main road to London any more. Here a few Victorian houses survive, mostly rendered, some with verandahs. Further north is a small oak forest. To the north-west is the church of St George, rebuilt in 1970 with a concrete tower. The town is by-passed today, and the M27 is nearby.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

All these gleaming new box-like buildings had replaced the lovely Victorian and Georgian architecture seen in some of the slightly older pictures here. Ironically, Woolworths, seen here on the right, is the only one of these founding tenants to have remained in the same building ever since .... until this week!
