Stamshaw

Stamshaw is a residential district of Portsmouth, located on the north western corner of Portsea Island in southern England.

Due to the rising cost of houses in the south in recent years, it has become one of the key areas for first time buyers.

[citation needed] The area once included a greyhound racing stadium (closed 2010 April and since has been demolished), Alexandra Park, with the Mountbatten Sports Centre, and Portsmouth International Port.

To the north lie Tipner and Hilsea, and to the south are Kingston, Buckland and Commercial Road, the main retail area of the city.

In 1804 a Royal Powder Works was established on Stamshaw Point in connection with the gunpowder magazine at Tipner; by 1833, however, it had ceased operation, and no above-ground evidence of the site remains to be seen.
