Winter Road
This road in Portsmouth is named after Henry Winter, a successful wood and timber merchant in the town during the mid 1800s. Interestingly he married Maria Beadnell who had been the first love of another Portsmouth resident, Charles Dickens. She is thought by some to have been the inspiration for Dora in David Copperfield. Maria is buried in Highland Road cemetery.
