For as long as we can remember, Canoe Lake has been the perfect place for a relaxing walk around Southsea.
Today we have had a look back into the archive at some historic photos of visitors to the lake.
Maybe you have spent a sunny day on a Canoe Lake pedalo, or you might have fed the swans as a child.
The recent news about demolition of Lake House on the seafront near Canoe Lake was remembered by Mrs Rita Wall of Old Canal, Landport. She sent in a news cutting about the demolition of Froddington Cottage in the 1960's. It was a former 18th Century gamekeepers cottage. It was in immaculate condition but had to be demolished for the then new north south road. Photo: The News archive
