Having been to the AGM, I thought the attached pictures might be useful. They are scanned and might have suffered a bit in translation. I am not sure of any dates. However the frozen camber must have been 1963.

No 4 BROAD STREET (Keith Feltham February 2007)

No 4 Broad Street was the home of my grandparents and where my grandfather, George Feltham, had his boat-building business, G.A. Feltham and Sons, in the workshop behind the house. .

OLD PORTSMOUTH'S HISTORIC FORTIFICATIONS - A Brief History (Keith Feltham September 2006)

In the 14th century simple defences in the form of earthworks and moats were constructed to protect the town against attacks from the French during the Hundred Years War. No vestige of these early works remains and the fortifications were improved, altered and developed through the following centuries.

Further hostilities with France in the 15th century resulted in the construction of a tower, the precursor of the Round Tower, for the protection of the harbour entrance. This tower was erected on a spit of land (known as 'Point') which was outside the town. It was rebuilt in the time of Queen Elizabeth I and increased in height in the 19th century.

BUCKINGHAM HOUSE: A brief history (Keith Feltham)

.

There are proposals to convert Buckingham House, on the High Street, into a small historic house hotel. Restoration is badly needed to preserve the character and features of this important building, which dates from the 16th century, and a new use for the property will facilitate this work and bring it back to life.

THE ROYAL GARRISON CHURCH (Keith Feltham)

The Royal Garrison Church in Penny Street, Old Portsmouth might appear to be a ruin, but it surprises and delights those visitors who venture through the Nave and beyond the glass doors into the Chancel. Although the Nave lost its roof and contents through fire in the Blitz of 1941, the Chancel is still intact and its splendour gives an indication of how the Church would have looked before the bombing in World War II.

GUNWHARF GATE (Keith Feltham)

Gunwharf Gate, the district bounded by Warblington Street, Gunwharf Road and St George's Road, often seems to be ignored when considered in the context of Old Portsmouth, no doubt because it is an entirely new development. However, it is an integral part of the historic town, and was contained within the fortifications before they were demolished at the end of the 19th century. It is the one area which has seen more change than any other being almost completely cleared and redeveloped on two separate occasions. Until the early part of the 20th century there was a number of notable buildings on the site including the Colewort Barracks, constructed originally in 1694 as a hospital for the garrison before becoming a barracks . The name colewort derives from a type of cabbage which was purported to have been grown in this area; certainly the early maps indicate that, in the 16th century, fields occupied the land that has now become Gunwharf Gate and could well have been used for growing vegetables.
