1928 CITY GUIDE

Portsmouth, Britain's only island city, is a place of rare distinction. It was from here that the nation set sail to conquer an empire. The city didn't simply shape the story of Britain; it coloured the course of world history.

But Portsmouth has also given us some of our finest writers, musicians, adventurers and other public figures. Add to the mix tales of smuggling, ghosts, scandal and murder, and a colourful story emerges of a grand and glorious city which has adapted through the centuries to find its place in the modern world.

Dive into this captivating compendium of fascinating facts and quirky true stories, and discover the hidden depths of a remarkable city.

With a foreword by Dillie Keane.
