      Indeed. On which bus? Do you use these features?

        Oh yes. Of course on the bus!!! When they first appeared I thought that the little lights wouldn’t last long as everyone was playing with them and their use didn’t seem that intuitive. Not sure quite why they’ve been included.

          Mary,

          Indeed. I’m also wondering why the little lights are on the bus. I have never ever seen anybody using the lights to read or do anything meaningful with them. Perhaps the bus company wants us to pretend that we are on the plane as you get personal light on some of the planes…

    No 2 is Kings Court isn’t it? Now the Masonic Hall. The food there used to be marvellous when Clive was in charge and, after a few ups and downs, it’s great again. Our group had a summer BBQ there and the salads as well as the BBQ food were really good. A nice venue.

      Hi Mary and Roger,

      It’s Merdon House, according to Eastleigh History:

      Merdon House, Chandlers Ford, circa 1930. Demolished in the 1950s, the house was located more or less on the bend of what is now Merdon Close. pic.twitter.com/L6E4IzP2RB

    No 2 , I also think is Kings Court , was it a hotel before the Masonic Hall ? There was a Kings Court Hotel at Fryern Hill .

    Also have a vague recollection that the lady who owned it donated / sold the land {which she also owned } for the building of the Railway works when it moved down from Nine Elms in London , also think she was given / bought land in exchange in Chandler’s Ford perhaps when the original house was built , not sure how old it is .

    Perhaps the bricks for the works came from Chandler’s Ford brickworks !

    Although very similar in appearance No.2 is Merdon House and NOT King’s Court …
    Roger White is quite correct about the one-time owner of King’s Court …

    here is a ‘snippet’ …

    King’s Court was built in 1894 by William Lodge Wallis (born in 1856) and wife Mary Wallis. They had previously sold land at Eastleigh to London South Western Railway.

    King’s Court was a grand Victorian house with extensive grounds, a smoking room, a gun room, a housekeepers room, a morning room and boot room. The house also had a kitchen, a stable block and a cottage. The distinctive point on the corner tower has been removed for safety reasons and the verdant approach replaced by a car-park, but visitors are still greeted by the “delightful hall with galleried staircase” described in 1938.

    The main entrance to Kings Court was a driveway past the Keepers lodge. In the 1930’s, the lodge was extended and became a restaurant, initially known as King’s Court Roadhouse (now known as King’s Court Restaurant).
    The full story (and picture of the building) can be found at:

    The pharmacy on Hursley Road is called Hursley Pharmacy.

    It used to be a Lloyd Pharmacy.
