Snippets from a Portsmouth Past

Portsmouth, Hampshire has an extraordinary past. During every era it has been at the forefront of events that have affected the course of not only national but often international history. Alongside this, on a smaller scale, there are the every day stories of the many differing peoples who have spent their lives here and took part in these historic events.
