The History In Portsmouth site is a collection of essays, stories and lists; of people, places and events that make up a small part of the history that is Portsmouth. It has been put together by a group of amateur local historians who enjoy telling each other the things they have discovered about the history of the area in and around Portsmouth. We like to believe that everything on the site is historically accurate but anyone wishing to state an opposing opinion is more than welcome to respond as is anyone wanting to contribute a new article.
