Interesting Portsmouth UXB photos

Picked these up on the fea market at the weekend and found them a interesting look at EOD work in ww2

great pics,surprised they let the public so near though.

Thanks Harry yes i was also surprised how close they are to the site

Yes those are great pics.

Perhaps they let life carry on as normal and the general public have a squiz after the fuze had been removed from the bomb.

These days they evacuate an entire suburb if so much as a grenade is found.

Any idea where in Portsmouth it was? It'd be great to get some now and then pics if the surrounding buildings still survive. No street names visible on any pics?? Cheers, Tom

Hi Tom cant see any street names i will go over all the photos and see if there is anything to give a clue to where they were taken

[thorne83]

Good idea, might be able to pick something up and then check out google streetview! Alternatively, find a local history society forum and post it on there - some local might be able to identify the place. Cheers, Tom
