Historically, Portswood was viewed as a major tram depot for the Southampton Corporation Tramways depot and there was a tram service running from the main depot in Portswood Road all the way through to Stag Gates. The depot was responsible for building a great number of trams at the time and in 1949, the tram depot was converted into a bus depot. This was the main headquarters of the First Hampshire & Dorset organisation until in 2012 when it was converted into a supermarket.
