Current Historic Building Survey
THERE ARE also over 340 buildings in Bevois Mount streets that are recorded in the Historic Buildings Survey. This survey is an on going project conducted by the Southampton City Archaeological Society, which commenced in 2003. It seeks to record and photograph all buildings still standing that are shown on the historic Ordnance Survey map surveyed between 1866–1869 and first printed in 1871. If buildings on The Avenue and Rockstone Lane are included, the figure would be over 450.
