Don’t know how old you are now – but I guess it has changed more than a little…pretty much one continuous built-up area from Pompey to Southampton!

50, I lived on Rothesay Rd when I was about 2, moved to Essex & then back to Rowner Estate where I went to the local infants school for about a year. (Dad was a RN CPO ERA/Gunnery Instructor on Destroyers: HMS London & HMS Hampshire, also Troubridge & Bulwark, shore based at Whale Island when not afloat…) Then Pompey for a while, left, moved back for awhile in the mid 70’s.
Last time I visted was a week before I emigrated 20 years ago. Mother & stepdad live in Waterlooville, sis is a Obersturmfuhrer with the Inland Revenue in Cosham.
