Take a look at Portsmouth buildings voted some of the best in the city

AWARDS celebrating buildings and architecture around the city commended various developments at an annual ceremony run by the Portsmouth Society.

Here are a selection of prizewinners and commendations, which were judged by architect Mick Morris, Pauline Mousley, chairman of the Southern Branch of the 20th Century Society, and Jim Sweasey of the Portsmouth U3A Architecture Group - all led by society president Dr Celia Clark. Society member David Baynes researched and organised the short list and the two days of site visits. Nominations for this year’s awards are open at portsmouthsociety.org.uk.
