The history of Portland Castle stretches back from the reign of Henry VIII to the Civil War Sieges, when it was used as a jail for prisoners and enemies of Oliver Cromwell. During the Victorian era, the castle became a private residence for Captain Charles Mannering, the man who built what has now become known as the largest man-made breakwater harbour in the world.
Portland Castle was also used as a Seaplane Station during WWI and as an embarkation point for the D-Day invasion of Northern Europe during WWII.

“On Tuesday night last the Masonic Hall in Percy street was for the first time thrown open to the public, and fifty couples, indulged in what has been not inaptly termed the poetry of motion to the music of a good orchestra. Miss Porter presided at the piano, a new and splendid instrument . . . Mr. Perry, from Belfast, played the cornet and Mr. T. Porter, the violin, The hall on the first opening was not so crowded as anticipated, but certainly all who did attend appeared to enjoy themselves, and dancing was kept up with commendable spirit from 9 p.m. till an early hour next morning.” [Portland Guardian 28 Sep 1877]
“Early in the year 1S55 the first seed of the Portland Baptist Church was sown. . . a union occurred between members of two sections of the Christian Church, namely, Baptist and Independents (or Congregationalist). . . The first meeting was held in a cottage situated in Tyers street, nearly opposite the Victoria Boarding House. . . After a short time the Congregational portion conceived the idea of purchasing a piece of land and erecting a building suitable to worship in, exclusively for their denomination. This was soon accomplished, the building now known as the Temperance Hall being the result of their efforts. . . it was deemed advisable to purchase a piece of land and erect a building, The land was soon purchased-the site of the present church in Henty street-from Mr. L. Clarke, for the sum of £75. . . the erection of a church which consisted of one half of the present building. The foundation stone was laid in the year 1860 by the late respected Colonel Learmonth. . . opportunity presenting itself of being able to purchase the Masonic Hall for the moderate sum of £800, it was soon availed of and the purchase completed. Alterations and improvements to be effected will bring the cost up to £1000. The old church has been disposed of to the Oddfellows' Friendly Society.” [Portland Guardian 3 Feb 1890]

I asked permission to take photos in almost all cases, and in all photos where I was aware of a child in the photo, I asked permission to take the photo and post here.
I did not ask permission for many group photos, where poses were being done for
photos, assuming that taking those photos was implied okay. If you have any questions please message me through my Flickr page. Thank you!
Some times I include photos of both front and back because often times cosplayers have created something elaborate on the back side - and they never get to see what it looks like!
