Dist:0.2km<br/>This is the McDonald's restaurant at 77, High Rd Swaythling at the junction with Burgess Rd. This building which it occupies used to be the Old Black Cat pub. It was converted into the McDonald's in the late 1990's. Prior to that it had been the Hampton Park Hotel. It is recorded under this name in 1926 and probably changed to the Old Black Cat after the second world war.

Dist:0.5km<br/>The dual carriageway in the foreground is the A335 Stoneham Way. At the junction the A335 peels off to the left into Thomas Lewis Way, while the A35 Burgess Road is straight ahead at the lights. The two marks across the road are trench scars of some underground utility installation, not violent skid marks resulting from someone's late decision that the A335 was preferable to the A35.
