The bombed out ruins of an unknown building in Portsmouth Dockyard or Barracks, Hampshire
A bomb damaged building in the naval barracks at Portsmouth. The building has two storeys under a pitched, close boarded and slated roof and has a line of 32 pane, slightly curved top windows at 1st floor level and each of these windows has a square 4 pane section near the top that opens. Stored on the ground by the walls are large cable reels, many of them being damaged. The Portsmouth Dockyard negative register P135/40 gives the description Trinity Church and it is dated December 1940 but it is probably a building on the north side of the Victory Barracks. This is the same building as in negative number N24976 (Portsmouth Dockyard Negative Number P52/41 which is dated 25 March 1941).
