Title: Hilsea, Portsmouth [Go to resource]
Description: Hilsea is a place which is sometimes water and sometimes land, it is located on Portsea Island but did not become part of Portsmouth until 1904. Bordered on two sides by Portsmouth Harbour, it never developed into a holiday resort in its own right, unlike its southern counterpart Southsea. The building of Hilsea Lido and Stamshaw Esplanade in 1935 did, though, provide a seafront in the north for the first time. Hilsea became a place of perpetual movement against a backdrop of long-established communities and familiar landmarks. Smith, J. 2002. Book of Hilsea; Gateway to Portsmouth, p7. Copy of a photograph.
