Most of Portsmouth sits on Portsea Island, making it the only city in England not mainly on the mainland. It was founded around 1180 in what's now Old Portsmouth, and for centuries it has been home to a Royal Navy dockyard, where HMS Victory and the Mary Rose can be seen today. Charles Dickens and Isambard Kingdom Brunel were both born here.

Island living, less clutter

Emptying a Victorian terrace in Fratton, or a flat in one of Southsea's 19th-century seaside streets once the tenancy's up? Post the job for free and licensed, insured local carriers send you quotes. You pay once your waste has been collected, and every job comes with a waste transfer note, kept in your account.
