Celia Clark, author of the Tricorn book recently contacted Strong Island to inform us about a local man who has acquired three Tricorn Shopping Centre signs. One is being donating to Portsmouth Museum, who have agreed to have a Tricorn exhibition in 2014- ten years after demolition. He is keeping one – which is broken, and he will be selling one at auction at local firm Nesbits of Clarendon Road Southsea on December 7.

They are 14 foot by 4, dated 1966 and will hopefully be sold between £150-£250. The owner of the sign being auctioned would really like it to go to someone who would really appreciate it so make sure to be at the auction on 7th Dec.

London Skaters in Portsmouth

Some friends from London (and Surrey) have made a few trips down to Portsmouth in recent months to skate some of our city’s amazing spots. The first clip is from this past weekend, the second is from April. Check Jamie’s fakie rock at the lawcourts…going fakie at that is something else. Also good to see the Tricorn banks getting skated too.

Both clips filmed by Mark Jackson and featuring Jamie Arghh, Ben Coughlan and Mark Jackson. To see more footage from Mark’s skate travels hit up www.markj.co.uk.

Southsea Postcards

I’ve no idea if these are genuine postcards or a bit of fun, but you have to admit they’re classics.

Edit: Strong Island reader Zygomatic posted the link where you can buy these postcards and many more. Genius.
