And 1998 was also when these aerial pictures were taken for The News.
In some of the shots, not much has changed – but in others, those with a keen eye for Portsmouth detail will notice the changes. One of Landport shows the Tricorn nestled at the top of Commercial Road, for example, and on another the area of the seafront around South Parade Pier is now much changed.
Have a flick through and see what you notice.
