Paulsgrove
Paulsgrove used to be the home of Johnson and Johnson and Smith's Crisp's.
Built in the 1940's the estate was a temporary shelter for those that had to
be moved out of the bomb stricken city. Still standing today!
Most of the homes had asbestos or corrugated iron roofs and in the main they
where constructed with a prefab steel reinforced concrete. Those people that
have bought there homes have had these replaced (the council replaced the
asbestos don't worry).
The Paulsgrove tip (not the estate) now has a new name 'Port
Solent' the tip is still active and is a good place to get your compost
from. They shred all the areas garden waste and allow it to root down. Even
Alan Titchmarch has used this, although he did point out that you don't know how
much goodness is in each bag.
If you want to move to Portsmouth but can't afford most areas then you need
to know that Paulsgrove is the cheapest area in the city, and that around the
edge of the area you can find some nice brick built homes although these are
built with lime mortar. New homes have been built in the area and can be found
for sale, but usually they are bought up very quickly.
