Hello Everybody, I am trying to find out where WINCHESTER STREET KINGSLAND SOUTHAMPTON was in the 1880s, Is there anybody with a old map of SOUTHAMPTON that could help. Thank you, Syd Hockey.

Hi Syd OK, I have a city map from the 1890's which shows Winchester Street in Kingsland stretching east to west across the middle of the Kingsland block halfway between North Front and South Front and having exits at both ends, to St Mary's Street and West Front. The area was heavily damaged in WW2 and subsequently redeveloped, but a look at a present day map will show North Front and South Front still in existence, with the block bordered east and west by St Mary's Street and Palmerston Road (was West Front). There is a road in the middle called Winton Street covering part of the stretch where the original Winchester Street was. As you will know, Winton is the ecclesiastical name for Winchester ie the Bishop of Winchester signs hinself 'Winton'. If you'd like me to photograph that part of my old map and send it to you I'll be happy to do so.
