7/9/24
I travelled to Woolston to join my sister celebrating her 30th wedding anniversary.
Between the ages of 4 and 12 I lived in Southampton and one of my favourite memories was travelling on the Floating Bridge, a chain ferry across the river Itchen.
It was replaced by the Itchen Bridge in 1977
As I walked from Woolston station I noticed a memorial.
A more detailed description is here.
I took a few photos of the bridge:

| I used the panoramic option on my mobile phone for this photo |
The anniversary celebration took place here.
On my way home I visited a micropub in Woolston.
Back at Woolston station the former signal box is Grade II listed.
I got a train to Southampton Central, then a train to Eastleigh.
On my walk to my final pub I took some more photos.
My second and final pub of the day was Steam Town Brewery.
