South Parade Pier Southsea 1928

A walk along Southsea seafront today and things don’t look so different nearly 100 years on from when these folks took a walk.

The pier is still there, just. The boats are no longer pulled up onto the foreshore but the scene is the same. A breath of sea air between WWI and WWII when Southsea served a very different role.
