The Still & West Country House in Bath Square, Old Portsmouth. Dating from about 1733, this popular pub at the mouth of the harbour was originally known at The Still Tavern. In the early 1900s a busy daily fish market was held immediately in front of the building - hence the 4am opening time. Photo: The News archive
