Gosport
Gosport is a town and district in Hampshire with around 78,000 inhabitants, situated on the south coast of England. Part of the South Hampshire conurbation, it lies on a peninsula on the western side of Portsmouth Harbour opposite the city of Portsmouth, to which it is linked by a pedestrian ferry. Gosport is said to be the largest town in Britain without an operational railway station.
Present day
The town is in posession of a Millennium Sundial, the latest of the town's tourist attractions. However, whilst the obvious objective of the clock was to have it run for the entirety of the new millennium, it stopped working in 2004, a mere 4 years into its lifespan. However, the latest International Festival Of The Sea became an attraction for outsiders.
