Portsmouth by John Sadden

Portsmouth is a city with a long and distinguished history and these memorable images, which span from the last century to the 1970s, illustrate some of the many changes that have taken place over this period. The book both pays tribute to the architectural history of the city and recreates the everyday lives of its people, from their methods of transport to their items of clothing and from their work to their leisure activities. These images, from professional photographers like Stephen Cribb as well as gifted amateurs like William Burbage, are sure to evoke a wealth of personal memories.
