Summary
A brick-built, single storey building with hipped, tiled roof that formerly stood on the west side of the junction between Mansbridge Road and High Road (now Wide Lane), Swaythling. The date of construction is unknown although the building is shown on the 1869 map. In the 20th century it was used for shops. It was probably demolished about 1973/4 to make way for a new road layout, and the site is now under a roundabout.
