Description: | This photograph was taken before the construction of Winston Churchill Avenue and the path for the road across the grassed area between the blocks of flats can be clearly seen. Running left to right along the bottom of the photograph is Somers Road with Baileys Road, Montgomerie Road and Bradford Road leading off it. The bottom end of Bradford Road pictured here and the last row of houses in Somers Road were demolished to make way for Winston Churchill Avenue.
To the right of the photograph Somers Road Primary School and the old Southsea Fire Station and be seen. This fire station was rebuilt and enlarged in the 1970's and again some of the housing surrounding it was demolished to make way. The road leading to the railway lines is Blackfriars Road. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.exe?a=query&p=gateway&f=generic_sitetext%2ehtm&_IXFIRST_=1&_IXMAXHITS_=1&cms_con_core_subtype%3acms_con_text_what=copyright&%3acms_sys_group=%22sopse%22 | Rights holder: | Aerofilms | Subjects: | Winston Churchill Avenue Somers Road Bradford Road Montgomerie Road school Baileys Road fire station street | Temporal: | start=1973-01-01; | Source: | Sense of place SE | Creator: | Aerofilms | Identifier: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
