Slightly odd sign
The no through road has been added to try to indicate that this set of roads doesn't link to The Avenue (unless you're on foot or on a bike). The residents got very annoyed that people were driving too fast in the area trying to use it as a rat run so wanted the sign. Having cycled through it for almost three years, I could recognise most of the cars that drove too fast as they were residents'. Never mind, it gave them something to worry about.

Former Blockbuster, Portswood
Someone has helpfully sprayed 'Pirate Bay' onto the window, this being one of the file-sharing websites that allowed users to access films online for free rather than paying to buy or rent them from a high street shop. Blockbuster are still operating (just) but have closed many of their shops. The planning notice related to Morrisons, who were taking over the site, requesting a licence to sell alcohol.
