Location The general character of Florence Road and Old Woolston is suburban with traces of the former rural settlement that gave it its special character in the past. Developed from a small rural settlement into substantial residential suburb, Woolston now benefits from an outstanding selection of local shops, amenities and cafés including a Lidl Supermarket (0.3 miles), Superdrug and Boots (0.3 miles). Exceptional schools are nearby including the St. Patricks Catholic School (0.3 miles) and the Woolston Infant School (0.2 miles). Other local points include: Woolston Train Station (0.4 miles), Archery Grounds (0.3 miles), Peatree Green Nature Reserve (0.7 miles) and the Obelisk Pub (0.2 miles) which is the most prominent building in the area, occupying a prime position on the corner of Obelisk Road and Bedford Avenue. The building was built in 1875 in the Queen Anne style, which was very fashionable in the 1870s. It includes features such as limestone dressing to windows and doorways and a decorative terracotta tiles to gable ends and overall, a more simplified style to that of the High Victorian Gothic, popular between 1855 and 1885.
