Primrose Cottage 1903. Taken at Milford Locks, Eastney, Portsmouth.

Can't find out much about this cottage, but I believe it may be the last surviving residence of the "shanty town" that grew up around the locks in the late 1800s and the early 1900s, remaining there until shortly before WWII. I have no idea who owns the cottage now.

Please view large, on black.

Fascinating ... who ever owns it now certainly doesn't want any visitors that's for sure Keith! ;)

An interesting image, Keith. My guess is that it is now owned by the Prison Service ;-)

HFF and a hope you find a ridge of high pressure the w/e.

Very intriguing. It's got a split personality. A nice friendly sign above the door and a weathervane then sealed windows and the fence of all fences. What on earth is inside.
