Gosport Then and Now: Postcards from Gosport… and a few from Portsmouth is the story of Gosport’s rich past which laid the foundation for the town’s fast-changing present.

It is the story of a small fishing village in the shadow of Portsmouth which developed to become a major naval and military base in its own right. And now, it is the story of a town evolving yet again as the naval and military bases disappear.

In this book, historic images and current views are juxtaposed to show the ways in which Gosport has sometimes stood still and sometimes altered almost beyond recognition.

Containing more than 100 images, Gosport Then and Now offers a visual feast for anyone interested in social or military history. The book brings past and present alive to offer a captivating portrait of a town.

I bought this set for my son's high school graduation back in May! Came quickly, and it was exactly what we needed. It fit as described, and looked very nice during the ceremony, along w his cap n gown. Well worth the $ spent!

Ok product for average shape
Size: Large, Color: White
ok for the price but didn't work out for us. I had one guy whose body is thick and one who is thin. Couldn't get the set to fit on top and bottom at the same time, pants were a lil see through, but still decent quality and price.
