More about this scene

Pevsner described Netley as 'a Victorian period piece'; its streets of neat family villas and rows of renovated ter- raced cottages overlooking Southampton Water are certainly striking. Drive through the village and before long you reach the entrance to the Royal Victoria Country Park, formerly the site of the old Netley Hospital.

In 1955 I was 4 years old - I grew up in this street No. 50 Victoria Rd - that house is not in shot but further down the road toward Station Rd & The Prince Consort. I went to Netley Infants school on the corner of Victoria Rd & Station Rd. I rode my trike around the block doing wheelies around the corner of New Rd & Victoria Rd - once knocking a poor old lady off her feet - what a terror!
