A trip back in time to Portsmouth of 1979 | Nostalgia

We go back 43 years today for a further six photos from The News archive, images which were all taken in 1979.

The pictures make it look like another age with The Hard bus station looking like a child’s toy set and hardly any traffic in St Helen’s Parade, Southsea, on a lovely summer’s day.
