No further information but he could be walking down Southampton High Street to see the bomb damage to the historic Holy Rood Church before continuing towards the Royal Pier.

Southampton City's Holyrood Church & Anchor In The Clouds: Time Lapse Photography
Holyrood Church (or Holy Rood Church) was one of the original five churches serving the old walled town of Southampton, England. Built in 1320, the church was destroyed by enemy bombing during the blitz in November 1940. In 1957 the shell of the church was dedicated as a memorial to the sailors of the Merchant Navy.
History
The first documentary evidence of the existence of Holyrood was in 1160 when Henry II granted the Chapels of St. Michael, Holyrood, St. Lawrence and All Saints' to the monks of St. Denys. The name of the church, Holy Rood, indicates its Saxon origins; if the church had been founded after the Norman conquest, it would have been named St. Cross.
The original church was situated in the centre of the High Street, then known as English Street, but in 1320, the church was pulled down and rebuilt on its present site on the eastern side of the road.
During the Middle Ages, the church was situated at the centre of the town and was the parish church for the south-eastern quarter. As such, it became a focal point for life in the town and was used as a place of worship by crusaders en route to the Holy Land, soldiers heading for Agincourt in 1415 and Philip II of Spain in 1554 on his way to marry Queen Mary at Winchester Cathedral.
Holyrood today
Holyrood Church, Southampton.
Following the destruction of the church during the blitz, the only parts of the church still standing are the tower at the south-western corner and the chancel at the eastern end, together with large parts of the north walls. The wooden spire was lost as was the great west window, whilst the central area of the church was completely destroyed.
On the west face of the tower there is a memorial plaque to Charles Dibdin (1745–1814) described as a native of Southampton, poet, dramatist and composer, author of Tom Bowling, Poor Jack and other sea songs.[16] Above the plaque are the clock and church bells, which feature pre-1760 Quarter jacks, small figures that strike the quarters of each hour.
Inside the church, under the tower is a memorial fountain, erected in 1912–13 for those who lost their lives in the sinking of the RMS Titanic, which was removed from its original site in Cemetery Road on Southampton Common. The fountain is supported on four stone columns, with a curved pediment on each side with carvings depicting the Titanic, surmounted by a four-columned cupola.
The memorial is augmented by audioposts installed in 2007, from which can be selected historical recordings made by the Southampton Oral History Unit which give the listener a very real impression of what the now ruined church looked like before the war and what that area meant to those who loved it.
The whole edifice is dedicated to the men of the Merchant Navy and hosts the annual Merchant Navy Day memorial service; in the corner of the former nave is an anchor behind which is a plaque bearing the legend:
The church of Holyrood erected on this site in 1320 was damaged by enemy action on 30 Nov 1940. Known for centuries as the church of the sailors the ruins have been preserved by the people of Southampton as a memorial and garden of rest, dedicated to those who served in the Merchant Navy and lost their lives at sea.
As part of the improvements in 2004–06, funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, the artist metal worker, Charles Normandale created a series of wrought iron metal screens, gates and railings for the Chancel and Titanic Memorial Fountain. The chancel, now with a glass roof, and nave are used for temporary exhibitions.
