WW1 Remembrance Centre
Heritage Open Day: The WW1 Remembrance Centre moved into Bastion 6, part of the Hilsea Lines in Portsmouth in 2014. It was built in 1871 and had fallen into an uninhabitable state. Volunteers worked to create somewhere to house the artefacts and open to the public. The building has bombproof vaulted ceilings and was designed to provide gun emplacements protecting the guns and their crews against the forces of Napoleon 111. The guns were arranged in the gallery and the building also provided armament stores and 9 accommodation rooms for the men.
The building now contains WW1 artefacts and exhibits from our founder's personal collection together with donated items.
