Nestled predominantly along the southern coast of Portsea Island, the city of Portsmouth holds renown for its rich maritime heritage and close association with the Royal Navy. Its strategic location, characterized by its sheltered harbor, played a pivotal role during wartime, notably exemplified by Admiral Lord Nelson's historic voyage from the harbor to his triumph at Trafalgar and eventual demise. While the city continues to bustle as a bustling port, the vessels that embark on their voyages now serve purposes of tourism, commerce, and camaraderie rather than conflict. In this captivating book, authored by R. J. Cook and K. C. Close, readers are presented with a captivating visual chronicle that spans over a century, showcasing the remarkable transformation of the city. Through a blend of sepia, black-and-white, and color photographs, the authors vividly depict the city's expansion and development across the decades. From the Victorian and Edwardian eras to the two world wars and the more recent times, readers are granted a glimpse into lost and forgotten scenes that capture the essence of Portsmouth's rich history. Beyond the streets, buildings, and industries, the book delves into the intricate tapestry of the city's people and their ever-evolving way of life. Lost Portsmouth offers an enthralling journey back in time, captivating residents, visitors, and anyone with ties to this historic city.
