Title: High Street Portsmouth 1829 [Go to resource]
Description: Situated in Old Portsmouth and part of the original city the High Street has many historic buildings. The house where John Felton assassinated the Duke of Buckingham is here and here also a house with the number 1/2, the only one in the city. The George Hotel where Admiral Lord Nelson stayed before Trafalgar stood in this road but was destroyed in air roads during world war 2 and the spot is now marked by a block of flats. John Pounds workshop was also in this street as is the Anglican cathedral of St Thomas. For the last 800 years every British monarch except Mary Tudor has walked down the High Street.
