Trinity Green Gosport By the Friends of the Bastion

The moat is designated a site of importance for nature (SINC) and contains the rare Haminoea Navicula as well as Gammarus Insensibilis and Monocorophium Insidiosum. The Future The old parade ground is where a new garden is planned with planters and benches, parterre (ornamental garden) and walnut tree. A path will be cut through a meadow with a labyrinth near the gate. Later a wooden viewing platform will be built to give the public a view over the ramparts to Portsmouth harbour and the Solent It is planned that the Mayor of Gosport will open the new Bastion amenities to the public at Easter time in April 2023 A Plea We know a lot about the history of the site, but nothing about the men and women who served in this Bastion. If any HGS Members have information about ancestors who served here or in the Gosport lines and are willing to

divulge this to The Friends of the Bastion can they please get in touch. Alan Petrie (Member #13714) Member of The Friends of the Bastion petriealan@aol.com View from the moat showing recent brickwork repairs
