More about this scene

Castletown, Fortuneswell and Chesil now form a large urban settlement where Portland meets the mainland. At the time this photograph was taken, they were three discrete settlements, overlooking the great naval base in one direction and being overlooked by the great convict prison from the other.

This picture does not show Castletown, or the convict prison. It does show Chiswell in the foreground, and Fortuneswell on the hillside. The Great Verne Citadel (not a prison then) is hidden on the hilltop, left. Thank you for the correction - we have now updated our database!
