It’s a bit of a dark one this, and the start of this weeks research round is about The Plague and it’s impact on Gosport. Certainly it was bad enough to warrant an entry in the timeline.
One claim made was that the town was a, if not the, point of entry into the country. I think that is disputed and may be claimed by what is now a suburb (without wishing to do an injustice to the place, the name of which eludes me) of Weymouth.
What is known is that this horrible disease had a significant impact on Gosport’s population. The extent of which I have still to determine. I shall do some research and will hopefully produce a post sometime during the week.
In the meantime, I shall think about turning last weeks subject into a vlog script and hope to do some filming at some point. I’m hoping that as time goes on, my currently non-existent video techniques will improve. We shall see.
