5. Now demolished
The John Barleycorn in Commercial Road, Portsmouth. In 1943 this pub was the scene of a gruesome murder when the landlady, Rose Robinson, was robbed and strangled after she had closed for the night. Harold Loughans was charged with murder but aquitted, although he later confessed to a Sunday newspaper. The pub was demolished in 1972 when Buckland was redeveloped. Photo: The News archive
