Gosport Then and Now: Postcards from Gosport… and a few from Portsmouth is the story of Gosport’s rich past which laid the foundation for the town’s fast-changing present.

It is the story of a small fishing village in the shadow of Portsmouth which developed to become a major naval and military base in its own right. And now, it is the story of a town evolving yet again as the naval and military bases disappear.

In this book, historic images and current views are juxtaposed to show the ways in which Gosport has sometimes stood still and sometimes altered almost beyond recognition.

Containing more than 100 images, Gosport Then and Now offers a visual feast for anyone interested in social or military history. The book brings past and present alive to offer a captivating portrait of a town.

Works well, smells great, goes on easily
Sun protection factor: 15 Sun Protection Factor (SPF), Size: 6 Count (Pack of 2)
It smells good. It goes on easily with the spray bottle. It keeps me from burning while out biking. It's a good price. Overall, a very nice product that does what it should. We carry it in our bike packs and in the car when we know we'll be out in the sun all day. Doesn't feel heavy when sprayed on so it smooths over your skin very well. Keeps me from burning.

My favorite sunscreen!
Sun protection factor: 70 Sun Protection Factor (SPF), Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I have been using Hawaiian Tropic sunscreen for years and absolutely love the smell. I wanted to try a spray version as I hate the feeling of oily hands after applying sunscreen. This version sprays on super evenly and has that same beachy smell as the lotion! It stays on for hours and doesn’t leave a sticky residue. My go to sunscreen! With such high SPF as well, this sunscreen truly cannot be best for the value.

This is one of my favourites SPF out there. It goes on so easily and always protects me so well from the Sun. It smells absolutely gorgeous and leaves my skin so soft and silky.
