Buckland / Mile End

A Memory of Portsmouth.

I was born in portsmouth in 1962, many parts of the city have completely changed from when I grew up there.

The part of portsmouth I was born in (born at home malins road) was demolished in the 70s, I remember the bulldozers and brick dust, we watched as they knocked down my dads (rip) local pub the centaur and we were still living in our house when the bulldozers were only a few doors down.

I saw the area I lived in being slowly flattened all around. it was quite strange walking past derilict houses where my friends had lived when walking to school. wellington place Junior&infant school.
