The Rising Sun was situated at 73a Botany Bay Road. It was converted to two large inter-connected maisonettes.c2000. The local area seems to have a large number of mobile homes with white flatbed trucks outside and my memories of the pub are that it had rather nice etched glass windows. A local site says "The Fountain was a rough place in those days but was made to look like a playgroup compared to the Rising Sun in Botany Bay Road , Sholing". It did have a bit of a reputation.
