No, it’s not wrong, I don’t mean our monarch, Charles III. I was walking along the timeline on the high street looking to see which date line I could write about next at it was in 1684 that King Charles II visited Gosport.
The purpose of the visit was to inspect the defences. Whilst he was here, he would have stayed in Portsmouth’s Governors house. We have now reached the point where I have told you as much as I have been able to find out with the degree of access that I have.
If I wanted to find out more I think initially I would probably have to go to Portsmouth library and do a bit of research there. I wonder if I would find any thing there? I would expect that there would be things like official records, newspapers, diaries letters. It might be worth spending an hour there.
