"I'm a resident in Fareham and am considering creating a piece of work which is based on a family in Gosport.
My interest focuses more on the nickname 'Turk Town' and if you have information or could point me a direction where I can gain some knowledgeable resources; I'd be greatly appreciative.
I have an initial idea which i would like to cultivate but need some supporting material to add realism and credibility.
Are you or anyone able to help at all? "info@mygosport.org

"Can anyone please tell me the name of the church which was situated in the wooded area very near to the old station house at station road opposite HMS Sultan and near to the new estate of Redhouse Park Gardens, the old railway is now a cycle path.
I would like to know where I can get some information about the old church please."
If anyone knows the answer please email to info@mygosport.org

Somebody was asking what was the name of the wooden church opposite HMS Sultan, I think it was the Royal Air Force Church, my Mum and Dad were married there in 1941 what happened to the place?- From Wendy in Australia - any ideas?

Does anyone have any  pictures of the Forum Cinema in Stoke Road?

"I own the sailing yacht Driac, designed by Charles Nicholson and built by Camper and Nicholsons at Gosport in 1930. I would very much like to know her launch date, which I believe was in June, as I would like to celebrate her 80th birthday. (she will be taking part in the Three Peaks Yacht Race in June). I wonder whether you can tell me where I might find out more about this; do you still have the old company records in Gosport and if not can you tell me where to find them?"
Answer from Mick Bucksey

"I cannot tell you what month she was made but she was yard number 373. ( Shamrock V was 370). The original owner was A G H Macpherson and it looks like the original name was Marlin.
She was built at Gosport and was one of sixteen boats built that year. Hope this helps."
