-To help Jean Lovell. I seem to remember Gosport High School was for boys and girls. The other school that Steve Burton remembers was at the junction of Anglesey Road, Green Road and Green Lane. It was hidden by a high wall and the Little Green housing estate is there now. Martyn Cross.

-Mandie Oliver said my Grandad, Val Habens is from Gosport. He popped into the library to ask about the Jackie Spencer Bridge question, which apparently so have lots of other people. It had something to do with the signal or track change at the bridge for the track to Alton and the bridge was manned by Jackie Spencer. The bridge apparently is near the Nicky Adams Pit (I think thats what he called it) which provided the shingle for the track to be built on. He later remembered that he went to school with Jackie Spencers son. Hope this is of some help to the lady, by the way no one knew of it being haunted, I'd love to know the story.

- Pat Godfrey, asks,I am currently involved in an extended over-dinner discussion regarding the actual name of the spit of land on which Fort Blockhouse - and even Haslar Hospital now stand. The museum (Fortifications Folder) leads me to a small number of possibilities; Gosport Spit, Camp Field (perhaps nearer the Bulwark in Haslar site?), Gosport Point (Golport Pouint), or most promisingly in one reference to the building of the Blockhouse at Childrode - though whether this is the Western side of the harbour I could not be sure as I can find no other mention.

- Unfortunately most references/maps I have found to the history of the site refer only to the beginning of Gosport's defences and the Blockhouse that almost mythically always seems to have been there (1400+). I cannot believe the Romans or Anglo Saxons would not have named the point at least for navigation if not for defensive reasons?. Ian

- Barbara Kashiwazaki has now received all the info that she needs and asked for the request to be removed. Thank you to all who helped Ian.

Geoff has asked if anyone has any photos of the High Street and Stoke Rd of the 1930’s. Please can you help, thank you.

Roland says I'm trying to find an old map to trace a house in Hardway Gosport. In the 1800's, each house had a name and not a number. I'm trying to find something that can point me to the where abouts of Rose Villa, Grove Road Gosport. Some houses still have the original name plates, others don't. Do you where I can find this sort of information?

- - I came across your Gosport sire and found someone was asking about Rose Villa in Grove Road Alverstoke. I have a census which shows Rose Villa as the next property to my where my ancestor Samuel Groom born 1817 Portsmouth is residing. I then come across his will and it states he lives at 12 Grove Road Alverstoke. I believe this information may help the person who asked for info about Rose Villa on your website. Julie Brutnell
