Portsmouth Point

Summer in the early 60s is captured in this short film by F Howard which features divers at Hilsea Lido, Portsmouth's Garrison Church and numerous Isle of Wight ferries

Travel back to the Portsmouth of open markets, period shops, bomb sites, congested car parks, workers on bicycles and holiday crowds - all in glorious black & white

Enjoy a 60s summer with the promenaders on Southsea Common, the rowers on Southsea's Boating Pond and the wild, wild jumpers and divers at the Old Sally Port

Sunlight and shadows combine in Southsea - as this superb chiaroscuro film from Archibald Peskett shows - with images of ships, commuters and numerous trolleybuses
