  3. 2 : km 0.77 - alt. 36 m - Between the 1890s and the 1920s, the road and surrounding area was gradually developed into suburbs and trams ran along the former boundary lane. Burgess Road ran along the former N boundary of Southampton and in 1846 only contained a few farm buildings. By 1866, more had been added St Alban's Church and its Church Hall to the N dates from 1933 in the Gothic style and is especially large. Further along and on the S side of the road is another Church of 1932, this one a Methodist place of worship in a distinctive octagonal neo-Georgian style that contains an auditorium.

  35. 34 : km 7.15 - alt. 18 m - Keep left onto Cobden Avenue
  36. 35 : km 7.53 - alt. 40 m - St. Mary's College is from the early 19th century with projecting pavilions, at a time when the surrounding area was mostly countryside populated by a few farms and country houses. Indeed, this building was a former manor house known as Bitterne Grove, one of only a few surviving in Southampton. The estate was first formed in 1760 and once had numerous workers' cottages to support it. It set the precedent for more manors to be built on this side of the Itchen over the next century.

  50. 49 : km 9.48 - alt. 48 m - The old village of Bitterne, which you are now in the middle of had existed since the early 19th century, originally as houses for servants and workers on the many manor houses in the area that had sprung up in the previous half century. By 1852, Bitterne had acquired its own church, the Church of the Holy Saviour which you can see here with a S aisle of 1885 and the N window of the chancel being made of stained glass and installed in 1896. By the 1930s, Bitterne Old Village had been swallowed up into the Southampton urban area.

  65. 64 : km 12.81 - alt. 30 m - Peartree House is one of the oldest buildings E of the Itchen, built by 1617 at least. The manor was resurfaced c.1800 with castellated parapets. The house once owned a large estate like the even older Bitterne Manor and the later Bitterne Grove.
  66. 65 : km 12.95 - alt. 29 m - Built to serve the members of the parish of St. Mary's who were on the E side of the Itchen, and thus the opposite side to the Church, Jesus Chapel was constructed in 1620 for this area, known as St. Mary Extra. The centre west gable and small bell turret remain from this time while the porch is of 1822, S transept in the same year, N aisle in 1846, E aisle 1866, new S chapel and chancel in 1883. It retains 19th century pews and wall carvings. In its churchyard is the Rosoman Monument of 1862 in the shape of a steeple, while beyond the church to the SE is Woolston Secondary Mixed School, constructed in 1857 as two separate buildings that are now linked and ground floor level.

  78. 77 : km 13.91 - alt. 18 m - Mr Fussy Also, on the opposite side of the road from Mr Fussy (that's a clue) is Woolston Station, its main buildings from c.1860 in the Italianate Classical style, while to its E, is the station's signal box from 1901, a L&SWR Type 4 box from 1901, one of only two to survive both with original windows and to be located on a platform. By WW1, there were 12,000-13,000 signal boxes in operation in Britain but this now numbers in the low hundreds. This one's purpose was controlling rail traffic passing through the station and to its now vanished sidings, engine shed and other rail facilities. It continued in operation until 1980.

  84. 83 : km 15.46 - alt. 31 m - St. Mary's Church in Sholing was built from 1866-7. The modern area called Sholing comprised a settlement on Sholing Common that had been set up in the 1790s which the Church was built for, with the original 'Sholing' sited at Peartree Green where you saw the 17th century buildings. The village of the 1790s had grown by the late Victorian era and it became known as Sholing. In 1920, it was incorporated into the town of Southampton.

  94. 93 : km 18.99 - alt. 35 m - This is another cemetery for St. Mary Extra, as seen at Peartree Green earlier. This one contains two chapels of 1879, both connected as a single building; one Anglican and one Dissenting. Notice the Swastikas above the entrance arches which in a pre-Nazi world was a hooked version of the cross representing Christ's triump over death.

  98. 97 : km 19.61 - alt. 28 m - The upcoming Mayfield Park is on the site of a manor of the same name. The house itself is long gone, but remnants of its former estate are to be found. The gate piers to what is now number 227 date to c.1860 and marked the entrance to the manor's grounds, together with its lodge of the same date. Down Wrights Hill road, you can also see the stables, dating from slightly earlier formed of three rings round a courtyard with a distinctive clock tower. In Mayfield Park itself is a monument of 1810 erected by William Chemberlayne MP to prominent Whig politician Charles James Fox. This sat just across the boundary from Mayfield and was in the larger Weston estate where Chamberlayne lived.
  99. 98 : km 20.24 - alt. 23 m - The Holy Trinity Church here was constructed in 1865 and was also on the Weston estate. In the early 20th century, parts of the estate were sold off and houses promptly built, but it wasn't until the 1950s that the park was completely broken up and the manor dismantled to create the modern suburb of Weston, boasting the Chamberlayne College for Arts from 1957.

  107. 106 : km 22.34 - alt. 15 m - On the S side of the road is St. Mark's Church, the parish church for Woolston of 1863 but enlarged shortly after in 1866-7. Across the road is the former St. Mark's Community Centre, formally a school named after the same saint at a time when Woolston village was being expanded. It was built sometime between 1866-1893.
  108. 107 : km 22.61 - alt. 18 m - Turn left onto Obelisk Road

  113. 112 : km 23.14 - alt. 7 m - Woolston is believed to have had 10th century origins as Olaf's Tun, a fortified temporary settlement established by Olaf I of Norway. The Vikings are known to have camped in the Itchen area in 994 and this location would have given them an excellent view of the burh of Hamwic. Through the middle ages, it became a transit point of England's important wool exports through Southampton from land east of the Itchen, thus acquired its present name as the wool was sent down to the Itchen village for ferrying over. There was a manor of Woolston at this time but the modern village only really developed in the 19th century. By 1846 there were a few streets and houses, but more importantly signs of industry in the form of docks and shipbuilding was present by 1869. It grew as an idustrial hub in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In WW2, it was the site of the factory that produced the Supermarine Spitfire, which saw its heavy targeting by the Luftwaffe, destroying the factory, much of Woolston and the Itchen Village area, but the spitfires had managed to already be safely delivered from the factory. Its remains in 1943 became a base for Operation PLUTO, an undersea pipe to support the allies in Europe after D-Day. The base was known as HMS Abatos, and relocated after the war's end. Woolston became part of the huge military camp known as Area C, where the embarkations for D-Day were tested, as well as training specifically for the conditions of war ravaged Europe, due to the Itchen Village's ruined state. In the months before D-Day, movement was restricted among civilians for these exercises. As such, Woolston has few historical buildings, yet numbers 17-21 (odd) survive from 1913. This building was an early cinema which seated 600 and showed films until 1973. To its SW is an older survivor - the Cliff Hotel, built sometime before 1850 with a later 19th century extension. Originally, guests would have had to get to Southampton by the 'floating bridge' traffic ferry that ran from 1836-1977, the ramps for which exist on both sides of the river.

R.J. Mitchell, designer of the Spitfire, worked here and as mentioned earlier, the planes themselves were constructed here resulting in the site's heavy bombing. In total, 55 people were killed in the bombing of the factory, but the site remained active in a rebuilt form until 1963.

It had a medieval manor and later industry but grew rapidly after the enclosure of its Common in the 1830s.

St. James' Church itself is slightly later, having been built in 1836 and its chancel added in 1881. Further down Bellemoor Road are three detached Gothic style villas of roughly the same time; numbers 1, 3 and 5. The streets to the N and W were laid out a few decades later in the 1860s.

This church is the most modern of all the historic buildings on this walk, built in the 1960s but in a striking modernistic design which has meant it has become a local landmark.
