Old Portsmouth + Risk Assessment

Old Portsmouth

In 1704 royal permission was given for people to build houses near to the dockyard and so a new suburb called Portsmouth Common grew, this changed its name to Portsea in 1792. This new suburb soon outgrew the original town, which became known as Old Portsmouth. The area called Old Portsmouth is located on the south western tip of the island.

The area of Old Portsmouth is also known as Spice Island which is where all the spices used to enter the city.

Old Portsmouth attractions: Square Tower, Portsmouth Sailing Club, Spice Island Inn, Garrison's Church, Portsmouth Anglican Cathedral, Camber Wines, Southsea Common, Clarence Pier fun fair & Viviers (UK).

Square Tower: Built in 1494 during the reign of Henry VII. It was past of the fortifications to protect the harbor and also home to the Governor of Portsmouth. It is now used to stage plays, live music, venue for wedding and business meeting. It would make a good photo because of the architecture, it is unusual as it is historic, particularly on the inside with the domed brick ceiling.

 

Clarence Pier is an amusement pier in Portsmouth, Hampshire. It is located by the Portsmouth Hovercraft terminal. Unlike most seaside piers in the UK, the pier does not extend very far out to sea, instead goes along the coast.
Everyone likes the Ferris wheel as it is an easily recognized ride. I like the colorful pods to sit in, all the colors are like a rainbow. I also like the metal struts in blue and white making a circle. I like that it is taken at an angle rather than straight on.

I like the blue and yellow tower as it is very colorful and as it the entrance to the fun fair. It is an iconic landmark picture of Portsmouth.

Arcades are full of bright electronic, saturated colors like red, blue and other colors. I like the angle that the photo is taken from and I like the way the lights stand out against the carpet.
