Mr Pickwick | Abandoned Portsmouth FC Pub
This Victorian pub has seen much change throughout its lifetime. Originally a Longs Brewery pub known as the Cremorne Gardens, it became the Mr Pickwick during the 1970s. The present exterior of the pub conceals some ornate tiling that once decorated the front elevation. Inside can be found one very large bar room, roughly L-shaped, with a ground floor extension to the south elevation. Much of the original plasterwork and ceiling roses can still be seen. Two ornately-carved original fireplaces can be found at either end of the house, plus a third, brick-built example, in the extension. The pub is very sports orientated and customers have a choice of darts, pool and table football. The pub is also home to its own golf society. There is lots of room for standing customers - necessary when Portsmouth FC are playing home matches. A small number of picnic benches can be found outside, in the pub's own car park.





Plans for 12 homes have been submitted on the site of the former Mr Pickwick pub on Milton Road, just around the corner from Fratton Park where last orders were called in 2017.


A mix of one and two-bed flats plus a larger three-bedroom family flat are proposed, as well as parking for 13 cars.


The most recent application comes after previous rejected designs were branded 'bland' and criticised for the parking layout.
