i love Gosport - it has real soul and character plus the locals are wonderful. Spent 7 fantastic years there until 2017, but intend to come back to live there - i love the place, seaside all around, mainline train station just a ferry ride away, all the shops and Supermarkets and also a Spoons. Great people. Oh... and crime rate is low !
I spent many years growing up in Gosport, i first worked at the glass shop in Stoke road then at the superstore at Fort brockhurst. Not been back for a few years, glad to see some old sites.
Lots have changed since I left there in summer '69. Many familiar places still surviving though,I feel like revisisting the place while it still feels vaguely familiar.
Moved out in 2008 when I was 19, been back for like 4 days total since. I've basically lived out of it as long as I lived in it at this point. Ngl though I have a sad nostalgia melancholy feeling -- it was shit, I mixed with the wrong crowd entirely, got into drugs somewhat but I guess it's still where I grew up. Always thought Walpole Road was kinda nice though with some decent houses in some of the roads off Stoke Road. My Auntie lived in one (think the road just off to the right @ 25:30)and maybe it's because I was a lil kid but I remember they were massive.
Unfortunately it has had no love for the best part of 50 years, with quite a few 60's and 70's buildings that have been built along the street which don't conform to the building code. Recently a hideous back hander was done to build an eyesore of a TravelLodge and Gosport was awarded £1.78M funding under the HSHAZ project, but we've yet to see any development. It's a shame because although many of the heritage sites in Gosport have been run to the ground and are looking sorry for themselves, we're also seeing a lot of developers destroying these sites or turning them into housing developments, such as Haslar, Priddy's Hard, Fort Blockhouse, Daedalus Waterfront,

Really? It's got a massive crime and drug problem!

That is my home area. And unfortunately Gosport town, brockhearst and rowner are all pretty " grim ". But we make do
judging by your monicker, you are from Liverpool - now thats what i call grim !
