I missed out on THIS nice little book from the 50s all about Portsmouth & Southsea. If anyone was lucky enough to win it I’d love to see some scans or photos from the other 93 pages.

We are a nation with a great sense of sport and whatever the individual fancy you can be certain that you can indulge in is at Southsea. The Canoe Lake offers every facility for those who wish to row a boat and take the family for a safe trip amidst lovely surroundings. The Southsea Roller Skating Rink is the finest in the south of England. The Bowler, the Tennis player, the Putting enthusiast, the Golfer, the Swimmer, the Cricket player, the Cyclist, the Dancer and the Athlete will find ample facilities to watch or play at the favourite pastime. Yes! and even the football follower who holidays from mid-August onwards will be able to see “Pompey”, the pride of the South, in action at Fratton Park.
