This hospital, which was situated on the corner of Clarence View and Pembroke Road, was opened in 1884. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, then practising as a doctor in Portsmouth, was instrumental in its establishment. The building was gutted during the Blitz in 1941 and the hospital was moved to temporarily to Liss before returning after the War to Grove Road North. It finally became apart of Queen Alexandra Hospital in 1971.

Preparations for D Day
‘Police calling… All members of the public must leave sea front and immediate vicinity at once, and those without special permits or temporary passes must go outside the barriers.’
This ban on visiting Southsea seafront was issued on 17 August 1943. Boarding house and hotel keepers had been forewarned by the Police that all guests who were not in the area for an approved purpose must be out by this date, and that no more visitors were to be accepted.
