What's in a name?
Southsea began as a fashionable 19th-century Victorian seaside resort named Croxton Town, after a Mr Croxton who owned the land.
As the resort grew, it took the name of nearby Southsea Castle, a seafront fort constructed in 1544 for Henry VIII as part of the coastal defence.
We met up with Flickr Friends, Tim and Jane, to enjoy brunch and a walk past the fountains at the castle along to the prom (not forgetting tea and cake) in Southsea.
Thank you for all visits, faves and comments.
Happy weekend to come!
