Notes on bus stop names and locations:
Cattle Market Between Central Bridge and the Terminus Railway Station. (Closed).
Children's Hospital Winchester Road. (Closed).
Isolation Hospital Oakley Road, between Shirley and Millbrook. Later the Chest Hospital and then the Western Hospital. (Closed).
London Road (Bellevue) Where London Road becomes The Avenue. Also called Ordnance Survey (until they moved to Maybush) and College Place. The other London Road stop was the Post Office (outward journeys only).
Plaza The Plaza Cinema in Northam, later the site for the Southern ITV studios, then TVS and Meridian. (Demolished).
Prospect Place A row of buildings in Above Bar, opposite Commercial Road. The stop was also called The Aviary (a set of small cages in the park near the stop until about 1980). Locals often called it the Bird Aviary! Now The Cenotaph (inward journeys).
Rolling Mills At the Woolston end of Weston Shore, formerly steel mills, later a Royal Navy supply depot. (Demolished).
Stag Gates (Current) The junction of The Avenue and Lodge Road. Link. Stop also known as The Merchant Navy Hotel (later a Travelodge hotel).
The Target A public house in Butts Road, Sholing. (Closed).
Floating Bridge (Woolston) and Floating Bridge (Southampton) There was a bus terminal on either side of the floating bridges. The buildings on both sides had been largely destroyed during the second world war. On the Southampton side an old terrace house had a kitchen which supplied early morning bus crews with tea, coffee and toast. On the Woolston side, the Hants & Dorset bus depot had a canteen. The Corporation had no depot on that side of the river, Woolston crews were in fact based at Portswood depot.
Town Junction (or simply The Junction), Portswood Junction and Shirley Terminus were left over names from the tram system. The Town Junction was the junction of Commercial Road and Above Bar. Portswood Junction was the junction of Portswood Road and St. Denys Road (now Old St. Denys Road). Shirley Terminus was at the Romsey Road end of Shirley High Street, near the current pedestrian precinct.
Rest Camp On The Avenue, near Highfield Road. A first world war camp built on the former race track. The name stuck.
Many of these names were still in common use when I worked on the buses between 1967 and 1983.
