Newbury & Sons (left) is now a convenience store. The post office on the left shut in 2004. Parked is a Hillman Imp with L-plates that in 1967 cost £665 at Alec Bennett in Portswood. The building with the rooftop rail beyond Newbury's is Sarisbury Buildings. The New Inn on the end changed its name to the Sarisbury, but it shut in 2004, to be converted into flats.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I remember the large ham and bacon slicer at the back of Newbury's and always worried that someone was going to slice their finger off when I was watching. When I was about 3 my mum was doing her shopping in Newbury's, with me in my pushchair with a cover over it. When we got outside she was mortified and had to go back into the shop and apoligise because apparently I had been doing some shopping of my own and helping myself to things and hiding them under the pushchair cover.
The car with the 'L' plates is the car my sister learnt to drive, and so the photo must have been taken in a few months from late January 1966.  Athough the PO has closed, the Newburys have lived here from at least as far back as 1853 to date.
