Title: Great Salterns, Salt Barns, Portsmouth [Go to resource]
Description: In 1666 the Great Salterns works were established when Richard Alchorne dug salt pits in about one hundred acres of the reclaimed Gatcombe Haven. Great Salterns and Copnor supplied Portsmouth's Navy Victualling Department, and improved many acres of land that would otherwise have lain waste upon the coasts. Webb, J. Quail, S. Haskell, P.
