Description: | South Street is the road leading out of the square in Titchfield to Warsash and Stubbington. It contains several Tudor cottages and some of the oldest houses in Titchfield. Houses include the Kings Head, now called Cordwainers and the Red House, once a public house which was reputed to have held fighting bouts in a marquee in the back yard where Joe Beckett, a boxer, took on all comers. Moving pictures were also shown there with tickets at 1d. The Red House was later used as a post office before finally becoming a private dwelling. There was also a former store house belonging to Titchfield Abbey and made into dwellings after the dissolution of the monasteries. South Street shops earlier in the century included a shoe shop run by Alice Monday and a lamp and oil dealer Mr Williams, known locally as Oily Willy.
