Thank you lovely photos. I worked at St Mary’s Hospital a long time back and later at the QA. Wymering Manor looks super creepy in your photo just as I remember it a bit later on. If I ever had to pass that way would certainly pick up the pace as I passed by it! My grandfather was born in Old Portsmouth on the high street house long gone now at the end of the 19 th century and would tell me tales of the old spice island. I remember him saying Quebec house was used as a public bath house with separate bathing for men and women the baths were filled via pipes with sea water and would fill and flush out with the rising and ebbing tides. I was back a few years ago and was shocked at a monstrous new house they had allowed to be built at the end of bath square it was hideous! Once again lovely photos thank you.
Thanks for kind remarks. Makes all the hard work producing these Slideshows worthwhile. If you kindly Subscribe to my Channel and list your requirements I will do my best to provide what you need. Thank You
Fantastic photo collection. Can you tell me if it is possible to get a copy of the photo named 'City Wall near Pembroke Road' ? it's at 3:34 I have long thought the wall ended where it does as there was already a break there and this photo confirms that. In old painting of the ramparts of that area it shows a tunnel like the ones that have survived but led out onto a lower flanking section of the King's Bastion. Thank You.
I personally don't know the area. Have you checked all previous Slideshows. Maybe something there. Also a bit more of Portsmouth out this week. Thank You
Having lived through the 1970s I'm glad many of these old buildings are being knocked down replaced with new ones. In some ways it was a great at time for music, disco and dancing but there were too many hangovers from WW2. Too much looking back. We're going forward so keep the momentum going
Bearing in mind Catherine I have never been to Portsmouth it would be difficult for me to add location info. I might re-process and upgrade some of my Portsmouth videos when I can get time and I will remember your Comment . Thank You. Dave
Thoroughly enjoyed looking at these..brought back lots of memories - thanks.
Thank You. So glad you enjoyed them.
Thanks for these as an 'exile' in the Highlands I look back with good memories of where I used to reside.
So pleased you enjoyed viewing. Makes the effort here worthwhile. Just in case you haven't seen all they are at www.pickofthepics.co.uk.
Crossed the bridge to Whale Island many a time.

My first proper girl friend lived in Eastney, I use to come over from the Isle of Wight to see her 70/71, this is how I remember Portsmouth
I'm pleased this bought back some memories for you.

Sorry I thought I had responded to your comment. If I can still help please let me know.
That’s the first picture I’ve seen of Milton park from the 70’s
Never seen one of the play area

I think you might have a few that disagree with you but its what it is. Sounds like a Great place in the 60s but then wasn't everywhere then
As there is no commentary on this video it would have been helpful if the location names could have been adde😊d to the pictures.

No idea what the ad is and I dont watch them anyway
Do Brickwoods ales still exist ?
I doubt it. Is the Building still there??
Can't stand the music !
Thanks Mike. I only make these Slideshows for the fun of Sharing so I have to choose music thats for free. You can always unplug!!
