Title: Portland Terrace, Southsea [Go to resource]
Description: Designed by Thomas Ellis Owen. Owen trained as an architect in London and is responsible for the planning and design of most of Southsea, with St Judes Church as it centrepiece. He serves as the mayor of Portsmouth and was instrumental in bringing the railways to the city and in the development of the Camber docks. Portland Terrace is one of Owens grandest buildings and is reminiscent of Regents Park Terrace in London. In the 1920s it was in danger of demolition. In the 1980s it was rescued by Portsmouth Housing Association and converted into flats.
