The Freemantle Arms, Freemantle
Another excellent pub on back streets, which you would not find if you didn't know it was here. It is not to be confused with the nearby Freemantle.
Freemantle appears to have more than its fair share of good pubs compared with other Southampton suburbs.

Ceramic murals at Strawberry Fields, Shirley
These three panels are on the gable ends of the housing terraces at Strawberry Fields in Shirley. The ceramic panels, by John Hodgson, were commissioned by Southampton City to commemorate the market-gardening history of the people of Shirley. Shirley did not become part of Southampton until the 1890s. There was little industry in the area and Shirley still had farms, allotments and nurseries. Fields of vegetables and soft fruits, including strawberries, were grown for local markets. After 1918 many of the fields were sold for housing as Shirley continued to expand, eventually forming one of the city's largest western suburbs.
