We have recently moved to Leesland Rd, Gosport and have found the original house built on this plot was destroyed along with three others during a bombing raid in the 2nd World War. A neighbour lent us his book on the history of Gosport during the war and we found a photo of the actual bomb site. He told us that he thought a woman and her child were killed in the bombing. We are very interested in the history of the area and in particular the actual bombing of Leesland Rd. If you could let us know where we could find any information on this we would be grateful. Jason Kennedy. |

- Dave Press says, Turn of the century (20th) maps show Forton Creek advancing past what is now Mill Lane and reaching up to what is now Forton Rec. (Coulmere Road). My mother-in-law even lived on Forton Road opposite Bedford Street in the late 60s and she remembers her neighbour saying that these houses used to back onto water-meadow. These days of course, they back onto St Lukes Road. Now, I have countless books and publications on local history and none of them show any pictures of Forton Creek beyond St Vincent. I can not believe that none exist, especially when there appears to be an endless resource of pictures of the Stoke Road area! I would love to see what Forton Road looked like when the creek reached right up to the North side of the road. |
