Winn Road, Southampton (From Daily Echo)

Cheltenham Court, site of Captain Edward J. Smith's home, 34 Winn Road, Highfield, Southampton

Although not around the docks of Southampton, Winn Road in the city's Portswood area was home to a key figure in the tragedy.

Captain Edward J. Smith lived at Woodhead, a large house at The Avenue end of the road.

The house no-longer exists, however a block of flats now stands at the site of the house, which was number 34.

The block is called Cheltenham Court and a memorial to the captain, who went down with the ship, marks the connection with the tragedy.
