We look at some of eleven iconic and long-standing buildings and landmarks from today – and a few from yesteryear too!

2. Debenhams
The ‘first skyscraper’ in Portsmouth would be built on the site of the disused Debenhams department store in the city centre under new plans drawn-up for the building. A public consultation has been taking place to get the city's views on the proposals for more than 400 homes and retail space in a 38-storey building - which would be the tallest in the city - before a planning application is submitted.

3. Odeon
The Odeon cinema on London Road, North End was popular with many young people and families - many of who would pop into Woolies or McColl's to get their sweets and snacks before the film. Now the front of the former cinema is a shop and plans have been approved for 15 new homes at the back off Laburnum Grove. Photo: -
4. Tricorn
Love it or hate it, the Tricorn Centre and carpark iconic! It has been demolished and is currently used as a carpark while we await further news on the long-awaited Northern Quarter and City Centre North development plans. Photo: -
