Primrose Cottage 1903. Taken at Milford Locks, Eastney, Portsmouth.

Can't find out much about this cottage, but I believe it may be the last surviving residence of the "shanty town" that grew up around the locks in the late 1800s and the early 1900s, remaining there until shortly before WWII. I have no idea who owns the cottage now.

Please view large, on black.
