Weekly heritage photo mystery
In our weekly heritage puzzle, we want to know if you can identify this street.
This photograph was taken in 1972 and if you look carefully you'll see a former landmark that even had its own song.
You can see a bigger version of this photograph on our Facebook page as well as the suggestions being offered by other readers, and previous mystery photos.
To find out if you're right, pick up a copy of today's Southern Daily Echo.
You can also pick up a copy of the sixth edition of Hampshire Heritage Six, which is available from many newsagents across Hampshire. Call call 023 8061 4271 to find the one nearest to you.
• Congratulations to those who correctly identified last week's photo as the junction of Above Bar Street and New Road, Southampton.

It is Portsmouth Road Woolston, near the junction with Victoria Road, looking towards the floating bridge ... and can't some people just give an answer without doing that childish nar nar na nar nar type childish gloating behaviour?

Woolston was a great place for shopping as a kid, I just hope that some money gets spent on it, the new development looks nice but don't forget the old part.

How about an on-line petition to get it re-named.
I'll kick off with McMenemy Way.

Pub down the bottom was Cliff Hotel.
Also Cinema down road on right, although may have closed by the time this was taken. Anyone remember coffee bar along Victoria road, call "trail of the lonesome pine" spent many evenings there. Some may remember the beat bobby in the sixties, "Tiny" real nice man. Lots of memories. It really was so much better then.

What an unfortunate name for a road Portsmouth. Who for god's sake named it after a South coast carbuncle . How about an on-line petition to get it re-named. I'll kick off with McMenemy Way.
