#Portsmouth #Blitz80 on my doorstep... in this road there's a gap in the late victorian terraced houses. When you look at the Portsmouth bomb map, a HE bomb landed there. New houses were built post war. /1
At the corner of several roads there are the remains of SWS signs, giving directions to Static Water Supply tanks that stored water for firefighting. Very faint, but theyre there #Portsmouth #Blitz80 /2

Many of the people killed in the blitz, civilian and services, are buried in Kingston Cemetery. There's a memorial to civilian casualties and these CWGC headstones that date from 10 Jan 1941 #Portsmouth #Blitz80 /3
