This is the McDonald's restaurant at 77, High Rd Swaythling at the junction with Burgess Rd. This building which it occupies used to be the Old Black Cat pub. It was converted into the McDonald's in the late 1990's. Prior to that it had been the Hampton Park Hotel. It is recorded under this name in 1926 and probably changed to the Old Black Cat after the second world war.
