The alley in the picture is no longer covered. The building to the right became Torbocks and then Iceland.

Down the alley was The Eastleigh Printing Works, where I started a six-year apprenticeship as a compositor In 1955. The Works were owned by Mr Henry Ivill and Mr George Alexander at this time. This office was a general jobbing one and also produced The Eastleigh Weekly News and Hants Gazette. I can remember most of the names of the other employees at this time. I was finally made redundant in 1987 after a change of ownership and premises.
