yeah, a lot has changed but for the better

I left school in 1959 and worked for a short while in a furniture shop called Traceys in Charlotte Street. It was located on the corner where the Galaxy phone shop is now. So long ago that it was even before the Tricorn Centre was built.

The old Debenhams store which has now closed used to be a department store called Allders. Before that it was a department store called Landports. The district in Portsmouth where the city centre shops are is called Landport, which is where the store got its name from. The store opposite Wilko's with the yellow shutters over the windows was a well known local landmark store called 'U-Need-Us'. It was a fancy dress/party/joke shop that sadly closed in 2019 after being open for nearly 96 years.

Great video

I remember when that part of Pompey was the place to be, it used to be heaving, it used to have some great shops and market too!

It’s clean and it looks like an English Town! Stunningly beautiful place. 👏👏

My old stomping ground. Thanks for sharing. A good honest hand held video with no special effects. 🖖

Last time I was in the centre of Portsmouth was 20 years ago and it does not seem to have changed much.

Portsmouth is my city.❤.

Nice, i used to live in Gosport, and would cycle to commercial road every weekend with my best mate P Windybank to visit HMV. Great memories.

It doesn't look like a dump on here. Have you been ?

Been over 16 years since I last walked through Commercial Road...possibly closer to 18...looks familiar...but not. Was born in Portsmouth..and lived within half mile of Commercial Road at one point.

That busker needs to retire. Bloody hell what a racket.

Is it a nice place to live ?

It hasn't changed much in 30 years. If anything it looks even more run down. Suppose Gunwharf took business away.

I wonder who the bod was pulling a wheelie on his motorbike

We left not too long ago its like leaving your entire life there

Very good video. Try not to hum when shooting videos, though. 😊

If Portsmouth is island then how do people go out of it

It has 3 bridges connecting it to the mainland. The middle bridge is practically all concrete so its more or less attached.

The bit of water in between is called Portcreek. With a lot of effort and a strong wind you could almost spit across it. So TECHNICALLY an island but not exactly an ocean away .... :-)

Great vid but drop that terrible background tune
