No. 14 bus (?) from Holyrood to Bitterne Park

Trivia question for you.

 

In 1964-1965 I used to take a double-decker bus from Holyrood Church on the High Street (below bar) through town, through Portswood, and across the Cobden Bridge into Bitterne Park, before getting off at St. Mary's College.

 

I remember it as the No. 14 route. Is that correct?

I used to catch it either at the top of Mousehole Lane, not to far from the Bitterne Brewery or at the bottom of the hill by Leybourne Ave.

 

As a kid it was handy for The Dell and, ice rink and central baths. After games I'd rush into town to watch final score outside Rumbelows, or one of the other TV hire places, and then catch it home from Above Bar to miss the crowd at the cenotaph.
