Today we have a look back at some memories of the area, spanning 40 years from 1950s to the 1990s, which residents might remember.
Among the moments captured here are the draining of the Hilsea Lido in 1981, the construction of the Portsbridge roundabout in 1970, and sea defences being laid at Port Creek in 1989.
