Ready to welcome the world in 2012! 2012 is an exciting year for the country and Portsmouth is a top destination choice for visitors. It is 200 years since Charles Dickens was born in 1812 in a modest house in Portsmouth, now a museum, and the city is hosting a year long festival to celebrate. The opening of the Hindhead Tunnel means the city is just over an hour from London, a fantastic base for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. www.visitportsmouth.co.uk 5 step back in time Portsmouth was founded circa 1180 and received its first charter from Richard I (Richard the Lionheart) in 1194. Since then the city has been a key player in many major historical events, including Nelson’s last battle at Trafalgar, the sailing of the First Fleet to Australia, and the D-Day landings. Portsmouth Historic Dockyard Portsmouth Historic Dockyard is a unique attraction showcasing 800 years of naval history within working docks and historic buildings. Home of the Mary Rose Museum, HMS Warrior 1860 and Nelson’s HMS Victory, Portsmouth Historic Dockyard offers a mixture of historic naval ships and a taste of life in the modern navy. Action Stations offers fun for all ages with a range of physical challenges, simulators and technological experiments. Add the National Museum of the Royal Navy, a 45-minute Harbour Tour by boat, the Dockyard Apprentice and the Trafalgar Sail and you have one of the best-value days out in the UK. Coming soon… The hull of the Mary Rose is currently withdrawn from public view as part of a £35 million heritage project to build an internationally-renowned museum. The ship, together with a recreation of the boat’s missing side, is due to open this autumn, when she will be housed in a brand new boat-shaped museum. Visit www.historicdockyard.co.uk for regular updates and to make sure you make the most of your visit. 6 Portsmouth the Great Waterfront City D-Day Museum At the D-Day Museum key events are shown on film whilst reconstructions, military vehicles and personal accounts demonstrate how D-Day was co-ordinated. At the heart of the museum, commemorating the D-Day landings in 1944, the Overlord Embroidery is a veritable work-of-art and the modern equivalent of the Bayeux Tapestry. And much more… Other historical highlights include Southsea Castle, the Round Tower and Square Tower fortifications at the entrance to Portsmouth Harbour, two magnificent cathedrals, the English Heritage Garrison Church, Portsmouth City Museum and the Royal Marines Museum. Read all about it A number of famous authors were born or have spent time in Portsmouth, the most notable perhaps being Charles Dickens and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

    Twentieth Century Naval Dockyards Devonport and Portsmouth: Characterisation Report PART FOUR CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The final focus of this report is to develop the local, national and international contexts of the two dockyards to highlight specific areas of future research. Future discussion of Devonport and Portsmouth as distinct designed landscapes would coherently organise the many strands identified in this report. The Museum of London Archaeology Portsmouth Harbour Hinterland Project carried out for Heritage England (2015) is a promising step in this direction. It is emphasised that this study is just a start. By delivering the aim and objectives, it has indicated areas of further fruitful research. Project aim: to characterise the development of the active naval dockyards at Devonport and Portsmouth, and the facilities within the dockyard boundaries at their maximum extent during the twentieth century, through library, archival and field surveys, presented and analysed in a published report, with a database of documentary and building reports. This has been delivered through Parts 1-4 and Appendices 2-4. Project objectives 1 To provide an overview of the twentieth century development of English naval dockyards, related to historical precedent, national foreign policy and naval strategy. 2 To address the main chronological development phases to accommodate new types of vessels and technologies of the naval dockyards at Devonport and Portsmouth. 3 To identify the major twentieth century naval technological revolutions which affected British naval dockyards. 4 To relate the main chronological phases to topographic development of the yards and changing technological and strategic needs, and identify other significant factors. 5 To distinguish which buildings are typical of the twentieth century naval dockyards and/or of unique interest.
  • Portsmouth Dockyard in the Twentieth Century1

    Portsmouth Dockyard in the Twentieth Century1

    PART THREE PORTSMOUTH DOCKYARD IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY1 3.1 INTRODUCTION The twentieth century topography of Portsmouth Dockyard can be related first to the geology and geography of Portsea Island and secondly to the technological development of warships and their need for appropriately sized and furnished docks and basins. In 2013, Portsmouth Naval Base covered 300 acres of land, with 62 acres of basin, 17 dry docks and locks, 900 buildings and 3 miles of waterfront (Bannister, 10 June 2013a). The Portsmouth Naval Base Property Trust (Heritage Area) footprint is 11.25 acres (4.56 hectares) which equates to 4.23% of the land area of the Naval Base or 3.5% of the total Naval Base footprint including the Basins (Duncan, 2013). From 8 or 9 acres in 1520–40 (Oppenheim, 1988, pp. 88-9), the dockyard was increased to 10 acres in 1658, to 95 acres in 1790, and gained 20 acres in 1843 for the steam basin and 180 acres by 1865 for the 1867 extension (Colson, 1881, p. 118). Surveyor Sir Baldwin Wake Walker warned the Admiralty in 1855 and again in 1858 that the harbour mouth needed dredging, as those [ships] of the largest Class could not in the present state of its Channel go out of Harbour, even in the event of a Blockade, in a condition to meet the Enemy, inasmuch as the insufficiency of Water renders it impossible for them to go out of Harbour with all their Guns, Coals, Ammunition and Stores on board. He noted further in 1858 that the harbour itself “is so blocked up by mud that there is barely sufficient space to moor the comparatively small Force at present there,” urging annual dredging to allow the larger current ships to moor there.

It makes free-standing statutory proposals for this part of the stretch, and seeks approval for them by the Secretary of State in their own right under section 52 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. 5.1.3 The report explains how we propose to implement the England Coast Path (“the trail”) on this part of the stretch, and details the likely consequences in terms of the wider ‘Coastal Margin’ that will be created if our proposals are approved by the Secretary of State. Our report also sets out: any proposals we think are necessary for restricting or excluding coastal access rights to address particular issues, in line with the powers in the legislation; and any proposed powers for the trail to be capable of being relocated on particular sections (“roll- back”), if this proves necessary in the future because of coastal change.
