Southsea Railway
This line was opened in 1885. It was closed during the First World War and never re-opened.
The line went through Lidl's car park and down the back of the houses in Heidelberg Avenue. A 'back alley' on the other side of Devonshire Avenue marks its route very clearly. It then went through Pepys Close, crossing Albert Road where the Co-op is, went under the bridge carrying Old Bridge Road and along Parkstone Road to the terminus adjacent to Chewter Close.
