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.

Portswood Road in early summer 1974
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.
