Could that be the road to crookhorn from portsdown hill, next to fort purbrook?

I think the Zepher/Zodiac is going towards Bedhampton and the Anglia is going towards Cosham - Only a guess though.

Well done, you're right! I did think that bank looked suspect, but thought it was taken just after the A3 cutting was put in. Looking at it again it's further along as you say!

OK, I thought that was nearer the George. On the right of Dan's photo, is that the lane that used to go past the old resivoirs? There used to be some on Portsdown hill, I remember them from the sixties. Brick built rectangular structures, maybe Victorian, not there now. Can't find pictures but sure they were there.
