Title: Southsea Castle, Portsmouth [Go to resource]
Description: View of Southsea Castle. Southsea Castle was built between 1544 and 1555 by King Henry VIII to protect the City from a french attack. Southsea Castle was completed in the record time of six months. It was built with a square keep, rectangular gun platforms to the east and the west and angled bastions on the north and south. It was from these battlements that in 1545 Henry VIII saw the pride of his fleet, the Mary Rose, built in Portsmouth, capsize before a french invading force. Quail, Sarah. 2000.
