Haslar Royal Naval Hospital SZ 618 988 BF100117. The first purpose-built naval hospital for the sick and wounded in England and was constructed in 1746-62. There were alterations and additional buildings constructed in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. Around 13,000 sailors and soldiers are also said to be buried here who served in conflicts between 1753 and 1859. In 1902 the hospital became known as the Royal Naval Hospital Haslar (abbreviated to RNH Haslar).

The preliminary design was by Sir Jacob Ackworth, Surveyor to the Navy, and it was developed by Theodore Jacobsen. The hospital was built by James Horne, surveyor, and John Turner, Portsmouth dockyard carpenter. The main building on the site was constructed from red brick with Portland dressings and carvings and a slate hipped roof with a central ridge lantern. The plan comprises six parallel ranges of ward blocks around three sides of a large courtyard which is open to the north. There are also corner residential blocks containing octagonal courtyards. The Palladian style building is three storeys high, except for the central pediment section which is of four storeys. The pediment contains carvings of George II’s coat of arms and allegorical figures and emblems depicting Navigation and Commerce. The front elevation is symmetrical and there are sash windows throughout.

The hospital joined the Portsmouth Hospitals National Health Service Trust in 2001 and in 2007 it ceased to be a Ministry of Defence-managed hospital. It closed two years later, in 2009. In 2011 the site was the focus of a social and community-led regeneration programme.

HOUND

Netley Castle, SU 451 088 A Henrician artillery castle, built in 1542-5 by Sir William Paulet for Henry VIII to guard the anchorage at Southampton Water. It was built as part of the network of coastal defences to defend England against the threat of French and Spanish invasion. It consisted of a single-storey rectangular tower (19.5m wide by 14m deep) flanked by gun platforms on either side. There were four embrasures facing the sea on the roof of the main building, through which the artillery fired through. The castle was maintained and garrisoned until at least 1626-7 and possibly as late as 1642. In the early 19th century the fort was converted into a private residence and in 1840-60 it was modified and a Gothic tower built. It was extensively altered in 1885-90 when a two-storey central block with attic and basement was built and the castle became a convalescent home in 1946. In 2001 the castle was converted into apartments.
