Spur Road

Street guide, Cosham

A residential road branching off Northern Road and climbing towards the higher ground near Portsdown Hill. Spur Road has a mix of interwar and postwar housing, becoming more spacious as the road rises. The elevated position gives some properties views across the rooftops of Cosham towards the harbour. The road is quiet and residential, with little through traffic. Gardens tend to be larger than in the more densely built central streets, and the atmosphere is noticeably calmer. Spur Road connects to several side streets and closes, forming part of the residential network between Northern Road and the hill. It is popular with families and older residents who appreciate the quieter setting.
