Barncroft Way Today - 24 June 2014

Barncroft Way is an important road linking Havant with parts of Leigh Park and my present with my past.

In this 2014 view, I can reflect upon the changes of several decades. The houses on the left now have varied exteriors as a result of the change of ownership of most of them from council to private. Parked cars predominate in a way probably not foreseen in the 1960s and several laybys have been built to accommodate them. The bus stop in the foreground advertises Stagecoach routes 23 and 37 and route 27, operated by Emsworth & District. Buses on this road in the 1960s would have been operated by Portsmouth Corporation/City of Portsmouth and far less frequent.
