A walk along Southsea Parade - Mayors Monument

Southsea is a lovely place, separate, by those who live there, as completely separate from Portsmouth.
The area itself is full of beautiful mansions created during the Victorian Era, and there are wonderful to see, as no two are alike!

Along by the boating lake you will find this beautiful fountain, (sadly not
currently working) which was dedicated to a previous Mayor. The angel is holding a dove, and is a beautiful bronze, however the sea winds has eroded her nose a little! What is simply beautiful is the gold and iron work above her, detailed in gold.


These objects are like hidden gems, they were created at a time that seemed to want to create not only something lasting but beautiful.
