A nostalgic shot of this area of Southampton nearly 35 years ago. View believed to be Portswood high road looking towards the city centre. Originally a Kodak ektachrome slide but recently digitally scanned. The car nearest the camera is a Vauxhall Viva (Mk2). Rear entrance double-deckers and two man operation (driver + ticket collector) have long since disappeared from public transport in Southampton.
