The soft sediment provides fine beaches that lead down from the foot of the chalky South Downs behind. The beaches of Portsmouth and Southsea have been popular tourist resorts since Victorian times. We'll turn our attention to Southsea Beach.
The postcard shows families enjoying the beach and lake beyond with a portable ramp for pleasure boats in the foreground. The scene is from around 1910.
