By Harold Whitehouse

 

Eighty years a Portsmouth resident, Harold Whitehouse Jr. looks back on his chilhood living ia a very different South End from what we know today.  Considered a poor neighborhood, the South end of the 1920s through 1960s was composed of mostly working families with many fathers employed part or full time at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard and mothers stayed home with their children.

Home by Nine is a reminiscence by a Portsmouth native of a time and a place mostly forgoten by all but today's old timers who grew up in the South End, learned from the hardships of the Depression, and contributed to today's Portsmouth.
