Wonderful rare images of Portsmouth and Southsea in 1900

If you have ever wondered what Portsmouth and Southsea looked like in the 1900s here is a selection of rare – and quite fabulous – images.

You will see holidaymakers on the beach next to the original Clarence Pier, a very Victorian-looking Portsmouth Dockyard, boats sailing close to the shoreline when people could enjoy that sight and The Royal Garrison Church Sunday Service, when the church had a roof and was in full use.
