Title: Portsdown Housing Scheme 1927 [Go to resource]
Description: Portsdown Hill Housing Scheme was a council estate built on the lower slopes on Portsdown Hill at Wymering. Building began about 1919. The early part of the estate was built on the northern side of Southampton Road and was known as Wymering Garden City. In later years building began on the southern side of the road on parts on East Wymering Farm. The Houses were built as alternative accommodation for people needing to be rehoused from Portsmouth slums and were to be let to the working classes.
