The history of Gosport is a relative time line. What do I mean by that? The Manor of Gosport was created in the twelfth century by the then bishop of Winchester. Since the day of the creation, the town’s history has evolved.
The points in the towns history that stand in my mind are;
- The manor of Gosport is created
- The civil war
- The Palmerston forts
- Haslar hospital
- The Borough (G/A) or (A/G)
- Queen Victoria
- D-Day
There’s a level of detail to the above list. There could be more granularity, and I may have the dates wrong. But these are key points in history that deserve exploration.
What I should really be doing is what I would dearly love to do and that is to practice what I am really looking forward to doing in Dorset, getting my connection to the past. That involves researching learning practicing, committing to doing something.
Do you know? I think I may have a go.
