There have been so many changes to the Fratton area since the turn of the century, so many buildings have either gone or have changed dramatically over the years.

We have had a dig into the archives and found some historic photos of Fratton Road and Fratton Bridge which date back decades – and they certainly look a bit different now!

Do you have any memories of the area or recognise any of the buildings featured in this gallery?
