Posh spot for #coffee this morning - The Canteen at The Round Tower in Old #Portsmouth - this building dates back to the earlier 1500s, built to defend the entrance to Portsmouth Harbour, which was growing in significance. Pompey had already been invaded and burned down a couple of times by the frogs, and this was the beginning of Portsmouth becoming the world's most heavily fortified and defended city, a position it held globally for several hundred years.
