Portsdown Main from Portchester Castle It was designed in the 1930s as a building which would be located somewhere in the UK. The Second World War prevented further progress and it was eventually built on Portsdown in 1952. From then to the 1980s over two thousand scientists and technical staff of the Admiralty Signals and Radar Establishment and/or Admiralty Surface Weapons Establishment (ASWE) contributed their creative skills to the nation’s defence. Portsdown Main finally closed its gates on 1 January 1997 and in April 2010, it was decided that it was to be demolished. It was owned by the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory, part of the MoD, which admitted defeat in its attempts to sell it, after a survey pronounced it structurally unsafe. Demolition was completed during September 2011.

St James without the Priory Gate, Southwick The church of St James without the Priory Gate is unusual in that it is a Peculiar and is outside the jurisdiction of the Diocesan Bishop. The church was rebuilt in 1566 and so is a rare example of a Tudor church from after the reformation. The church is "remarkable for its furnishings" according to Pevsner who also says that "Until lately it was one of the best examples of an 'unrestored' church in the South of England, with box pews, three-decker pulpit, gallery, classical reredos, and hardly anything post-Georgian. Alas, in the 1950s the nave pews, having been found to be worm-eaten beyond repair, were cleared away and replaced by polished open pews which are about as incongruous as any seating could be in such a church. Despite this depletion it remains a delightful interior, still with a pre-Victorian atmosphere." Southwick House was the base of General Eisenhower in the period leading up to D-Day and the planning of Operation Overlord was centred in Southwick House.

The village school, which is on the left here, was a venue for military briefings and press conferences in the run-up to D-Day. These were slotted into the normal school day with the pupils often transferring to the air raid shelter or to another building in the village whenever the military required the classrooms. The school is now private offices.
