Step into the seedy, spirited, and surprising streets of historic Portsmouth...

Join celebrated historian and speaker Andrew Negus for a riveting journey through the riotous years of Portsmouth, 1800–1870 — an era of scandal, strife, and splendour. In his characteristically witty and well-researched style, Andrew uncovers the hidden stories of a city bursting at the seams with dockyard heroes, political upheaval, rampant poverty, and the ever-present shadow of the harlot’s trade.

Expect tales of naval might, municipal chaos, social revolution, and a fair dose of muck and mischief. This is history as you've never heard it before — bold, unflinching, and brilliantly told.

Whether you’re a lover of local lore, a fan of scandalous history, or simply curious about how Portsmouth helped shape modern Britain, this talk is not to be missed.
