We have taken a look into the archive to see if could find out what Marmion Road in Southsea used to look like years ago.

The images range from Edwardian times right up until up until the 1950s. You can see just how many changes there have been in that time.

For some of our older readers you might even recognise some of the shops that used to be on the road but now may have sadly been forgotten.

We would love to hear more of your memories of Marmion Road – you can join our new retro Facebook group and tell us all about them!
