13 pictures of Portsmouth pub landlords in recent years

The News has long championed our boozers, and had a long-running feature called Love Your Local in which we highlighted the role played by pubs, lobbied on their behalf and helped to publicise the work they do.

Here we look back through the archive pictures to find some library shots of landlords and landladies doing what they do best.

Some of the landlords have gone – and sadly, so have some of the pubs. But take a look back in time and see how many familiar faces you recognise. Cheers!
