A series of insightful and fascinating publications, produced in A5 format, the Monographs cover a wide range of subjects pertinent to the history of Portsmouth Grammar School, Old Portmuthians, and the city. They range from Rudyard Kipling’s childhood experiences in Southsea, to an introduction to the poetry of Christopher Logue and the recently published work on Paul Pond (aka Paul Jones of Manfred Mann fame) and the Portsmouth pop scene of the late 1950s and early 1960s.
