Centenary Quay is a major urban regeneration programme to redevelop the former Vosper Thornycroft shipyard beside the River Itchen in Woolston. Over the next 10 years 1,620 new homes (1,472 flats and 148 town houses) will be built on the 33 acre (13.35 hectare) site together with a food superstore, offices, shops, a hotel, restaurants, cafes and a "marine employment quarter". This development will increase the population of Woolston by almost 20% and is expected to cost £500m to complete.

These drawings by Woolston Infant School pupils are on enamel plates beside the southern gate of the Centenary Quay development off Victoria Road. Their theme is that building sites are dangerous places and not playgrounds.

This serves the new developments off Jurds Lake Way and the southern end of Victoria Road, unlike route 1 which serves Archery Road and Weston Grove Road instead. The two routes meet each other at The Ship Inn in Victoria Road.
