A Transmigration Gallery

A TRANSMIGRATION GALLERY Collected By Touch the Light None of the images are my property.

Here are some images I collected that might help readers unfamiliar with the locations I've described in 'The Transmigration of Richard Brookbank'.

Map showing the location of Portsmouth, Southsea, Gosport, Cosham and the Isle of Wight.
Portsmouth is actually an island itself, though that isn't clear from this.

The Royal Naval Museum and HMS Victory in the early 80s.
Don't play soccer on the deck, they take a dim view of it.

Portsmouth Harbour today.
The railway station is in the centre of the photograph. To the right is the famous Spinnaker Tower.
The ship on the left is HMS Warrior, the world's first iron-hulled battleship.

The Hard ('hard' is a word used in southern England for a road leading down to a foreshore).
The building with the mock-Tudor frontage is the Ship Anson pub.

The entrance to Portsmouth Harbour station.
The gangway going down to the Gosport ferry is to the right of the truck in the background.

Tower House, Clarendon Road, Southsea.
It looks more impressive from the front.

The entrance to HMS Mercury on the South Downs near Petersfield.
It was decommissioned as a naval institution in the 1990s.

Mercury Park - as it's now known - from the air.
The large house towards the right of the photograph was the inspiration for the scene set outside Hayden Hall.

I'll post more images as the various parts of the story arc are completed.
