Fareham Creek - as discussed on the trip recently

[Andrew B]

Something to ponder on if  we pass Bedenham pier and its ammunition barges again, as I'm sure we will do....

Also - we were talking about Cams Hall being ruined, and wondering why.....guess what ?

In World War II, the estate was requisitioned by the Admiralty, who occupied the building until 1948. The structure was heavily damaged by the explosion of ammunition barges at Bedenham pier in Portsmouth Harbour which destroyed the roof and blew out all of the windows, leaving it a ruined shell. It was sold in 1951 but left to deteriorate, and fireplaces and roof leading were stolen.

Nothing personal Marion !
