Used to stay with a lady on Monmouth road on holidays in the 70's and 80's. Happy times. Also remember the Odeon, and the high street and going to the Angerstein cafe for meals.
I live only 15mins walk from old Kingston Crescent and I baffled many a bus driver by saying "can I have a single to Kingston cross please". Yep it was also known as that too. Nice to see someone videos of my home town (oops , sorry to the new school, CITY lol ). Thank you posting this video
When I was a child I always wondered why it was called North End. I thought it was because it was the North of Portsea Island. I was surprised when I found out the truth.
@@TimLambert101 and so many people don't realize Portsmouth is originally Portsea Island lol . I'm only 51 but still learning about my home town . Thank you for sharing this and other videos of this town
There is a website called Portsmouthblitz.co.uk which has a map of the bombing of Portsmouth. I believe it is being updated at the moment but should be back soon.
I lived on Kingston Crescent when I was a little boy in the Seventies. This brought back more memories than Google maps can!

Paddington road, every six house lost at least a roof in incendiary attacks!
