In this selection you will see the fire that devastated the Royal Beach Hotel in July 1911, the odd scene of a Bristol biplane outside the Royal Hotel, Hayling Island, and wounded soldiers being entertained at the Queen's Hotel, Southsea, during the First World War.
An image of The Central Hotel completely wrecked during the blitz of January 10/11, 1941, is also included amongst this stunning gallery.

The Crystal Palace at Fratton Bridge. Sent in by Bill Dodd of Portchester and firstly we see many Pompey fans' favourite drinking house, the Crystal Palace Hotel south of Fratton Bridge.
This wonderful pub was once run by former Pompey player Jock Anderson who scored a goal in the 1939 F.A. Cup Final.
The cyclist has just passed over Fratton Bridge and is heading south down Fawcett Road. The pub was another superb building demolished for road 'improvements'. It demise has not made the area any better though in my opinion. Photo: The News archive
