Is Kingstons Motor Spares (near Slice hairdressers and The Richmond pub) the oldest business in Portswood? The business opened as a spares shop in 1930, meaning that in two years time they will celebrate 80 years of trading!
Kingstons tell us that business has been run on the premises for even longer than that. Before car spares, they sold tyres, and as far back as the late 19th century there was a cobblers on that site.
