This may not be the most engaging of articles but Rachel Jones does capture the salient points.
I would encourage anyone, who is perhaps intending to visit Portsmouth or Southsea for a few hours, to read this article and also the comment posted from Gerry Oates.
Rachel says ….
It’s easy to take the waterfront at Southsea and Old Portsmouth for granted. But a point at the start of the Millennium Promenade reveals exactly why it’s something special.
Face inland and layer upon layer of history reveals itself. Straight ahead is the 13th century Garrison Church with the roofs of Old Portsmouth and the tower of the Anglican Cathedral rising behind it. And stretching up to the sky beyond those are the mighty modern structures of the Spinnaker and Lipstick towers.
Face out to the busy surrounding waters and modern ships and ferries sail past that 15th century fortress the Square Tower, standing on the shore as if still ready to defend the harbour ……
And special it is. A walk along this historic sea front is never boring at any time of the year.
