Rudmore
District in Portsmouth, Hampshire, England From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rudmore is a district located on the western shore of Portsea Island and is part of the city of Portsmouth, England.
The area used to be a residential area,[1] mainly catering for employees of the naval dockyard and their families. It was heavily damaged by bombing during World War II. In the late 1960s and early 1970s much of the area was cleared to make way for the M275 motorway and Portsmouth International Port. The parish church was St John the Baptist, [2] and is now flats.[3] The church was completed in 1916 and suffered bomb damaged in world war two.[4] Repair work took place in the 1950s and 1960s before it was converted into flats in between 1986 and 1987.[4]
Rudmore also lends its name to a major road intersection known as The Rudmore Roundabout, which connects the M275 motorway, the A3 trunk road to London and A2047 Kingston Crescent.
