Omschrijving

Gosport has been associated with the military for much of its history. Although this presence has been heavily reduced today, a few Royal Navy establishments remain and the town has many reminders of its history as a major naval base on Portsmouth Harbour. The first fortifications were built during the reign of King Charles II and further garrisons, training establishments, hospitals, barracks and other buildings were added in subsequent centuries. Many of the buildings have been converted to other uses and the harbour is now a marina.

A-Z of Gosport reveals the history behind this Hampshire town, its streets and buildings, businesses, and the people connected within. Alongside the famous historical connections are unusual characters, tucked-away places and unique events that are less well known. Readers will discover tales about the Explosion! Museum, the 'Gosport Nancy' folk song, an enclosed Victorian garden and the scientist who identified a rare genetic disorder, among many other fascinating facts in this A-Z tour of Gosport's history. Fully illustrated throughout, this book will appeal to all those with an interest in this town on the Hampshire coast.
