“This film shows events in Portsmouth and Southsea in Hampshire, including the bust of Charles I being put into position, women performing at Fratton Park Tattoo, the opening of a power station, wartime preparations such as piling up cement sacks in Guildhall Square and manning guns on Southsea Common, thanksgiving celebrations after the Munich Agreement, and TV coming to the College”.
