A POLICE cordon has been set up at a former Southampton pub.

What was once the Engineers Arms on Britannia Road has been taped off by police this morning.

At around 4am, Northam Road Outbound was closed between Britannia Road and Union Road due to an incident.


Update: Man taken to hospital after hit and run in early hours


The road opened after an hour, and a police cordon has since been set up.

The Daily Echo has contacted Hampshire Constabulary for more information.
