We found a railway!!!
Well we found what used to be a railway.
Apparantly there was a railway running from Fratton Station down to a station in Granada Road called East Southsea. It was opened in 1885 and ran for 29 years. It ran right past our back garden! If you look at Google Earth you can still see the scar left by it.
We're going to go to the record office and try and get some more information about it and hopefully some pictures of the stations. The terminus in Granada Road was of Queen Anne style and had three platforms each 360ft long so it must have looked impressive!
