Sunday Lecture – Portsmouth Harlots, Dung and Glory Pt.3

Come and hear Andrew Negus continue his entertaining story of the History of Portsmouth

Portsmouth Harlots, Dung and Glory Pt.3
1860-1930. Into the Modern Age.
We shall see why the dockyard triples in size, why the dung disappears, and how corsets cuts down on prostitution!
Mudlarks will entertain us, as will Sherlock Holmes with his football and three women super heroes will feature strongly.
New hospitals, hotels and theatres will appear and bring baby Peter Sellers along too.
The 1st . World War will bring glory and death to the town, which is then honoured as a City with a bishop.
Sadly there will still be slums and an awful murder.
