In its ownright, Gosport is not a big town. The high street is not huge. At the moment, it’s not very weel populated with shop choice – but that is a different story. In population terms though, across Hampshire it sits between the 5th and 8th largest towns in the county.
If I were to say that Gosport isn’t a very interesting town, in terms of what is going on day to day, I would say that is a fair assessment. But, in terms of history, I really couldn’t be more wrong. In the last 500 – 600 years, the history of the town is rammed with events and occurrences.
Now this next one isn’t necessarily the fault of Gospport, but take half an hour and go and sit on the Esplanade de Royan (our twin town) and watch the different vessels that come through. Small boats, big boats, warships, warships from other nations, crusieships at the right time of day, and Role-on-Role-off ferries a real collection of different types.
