Online House Hunter: Dickens of a city | Alan Cleaver | Independent Property Blogs
AS Britain marks the 200th birthday of Charles Dickens, it seems appropriate to turn the property spotlight on his home town of Portsmouth.
Pompey, as the city and football team are also known, lies within Hampshire but is technically an island: Portsea Island.
It’s perhaps most famous as a naval port and you’ll still find there HMS Victory, HMS Warrior and the recovered remains of the Mary Rose. But there’s plenty more to this historic city. It’s a seaside town of course and Southsea is where you’ll find the beaches and traditional holiday attractions. Then there is the industrial side and the bustling city centre. And let’s not forget the university. Throw in the shopping centres such as Gunwarf Quays and the sprawling residential estates and you have plenty to choose from for a place to call home.
Employment ranges from the navy to defence, leisure, retail, manufacturing and – the biggest employer – health.
