Bus in Hillgrove Road turning circle, Townhill Park
First Southampton 40629, a Dennis Dart/Alexander Dash new to Yorkshire Rider (which became part of FirstBus when its owners, Badgerline, merged with GRT), pauses in the turning circle built into the bottom of Hillgrove Road where it meets Meggeson Avenue; it is operating route 8 to Lordshill via Southampton city centre. At this time, the routes serving Townhill Park did so on a one way loop, so most buses did not bother going round the turning circle. I have fond memories of going on these buses in Leeds, so it was a pleasant surprise to find one in Southampton.

Bus on Meggeson Avenue, Townhill Park
First Southampton 34071, a long wheelbase Volvo Olympian/Northern Counties Palatine new to Stagecoach Viscount, thunders along Meggeson Avenue while traversing the Townhill Park and Midanbury loop before returning to Southampton city centre on route 3A. In an attempt to address the large number of elderly double deckers in its fleet, First had recently acquired a significant number of secondhand midlife Olympians, hence this former Stagecoach bus being part of its Southampton fleet.

Entrance sign for former school at Townhill Park House
Townhill Park House was used as a school by Middlesex County Council until told to Southampton City Council in 1969. This sign, located at the end of River Walk, dates from that era. The house became a hostel for Merchant Navy cadets in 1971 and today is a private school with its main entrance located in Cutbush Lane, opposite Atlantic Park View.
