Building The Mystery - Pub

[Lord Palmerston]

The Mystery is a former Portsmouth pub.

It was situated at 1-3 Warwick Crescent in the Somers Town area of the city. It was a great example of the "Brewers Tudor" style of pub.

It survived the house clearances of the 60s and 70s, only to be the target of arson in 2005. It was demolished shortly afterwards.
