One thing which many people have not heard of or seen is the wall of the very first naval dock in Portsmouth which was built in the 1300's, it is basically positioned under Brunels old Block Building factory. Access to it is via No5 drydock where a gate at its base leads into an arched subterranean complex knee deep in water, in Georgian/Victorian times it was used to take water from drydocks and is linked by sewer styled tunnels to many docks throughout the yard. At the eastern end of this dark dare I say creepy complex can be seen the actual stone wall itself that was constructed in the 1300's and which still has the original depth markings visible.

Strange mentioning Lumps Fort and the rose garden but not operation Operation Frankton and the cockleshell heroes. It was where they did initial training, my dad was a friend of Bill Sparks. There's even a memorial on the seaward side entrance.

I love walking around the Hilsea Lines area, I've done a few videos there myself. It's a shame that alot of it has got overgrown and now not able to be seen.

Good video. I'm from Portsmouth and the Hilsea lines were always a mystery. Too far north for an Eastney kid.

Thank you for the interesting history of these places. I grew up in Southsea and knew of some of them but certainly didn't know the history . See the familiar rudeness demonstrated in the comments sadly hasn't changed -- please don't let their grumpy arses :)P deter you ! Best wishes from Toronto

Canoe Lake was once called by many as Swan Lake and was a favoured place to show off radio cantrolled ships & boats and youngsters would often float their yachts in it.

Re the Paulsgrove Chalk pit. I think you'll find that the radio station is further along - (to the right, as you look at it). ;)

Amusing seeing comments of I live in Portsmouth and these aren't secret, as if only Pompey residents will watch it. Anyway a little correction for future vids... it' s not South-wick it's pronounced "suthick".....with the suth as in soothe...if you get my poor attempt !.. good video though !

I didn't know it was "Suthick" either. A lot of place names in the UK are pronounced differently to how they're written, even by those who are otherwise good at spelling.

Typical "outsider" doing the commentary. "Pauls...grove" and "South...wick". Do your homework first and then make a documentary. One word....the Paulsgrove estate. Southwick pronounced "Sutthick" locally. Not so much a lack of knowledge, just annoying. Anyway, as has been said below, none of these are the least bit secret.
