There is a flagstaff above the main steps into the Guildhall but this would appear to be in wrong position with respect to the flagstaff grid reference. Grid references infer both the flagstaff and the bolt are/were located on the main clock tower. Flagstaff missing and assumed destroyed. Bolt inaccessible to confirm its destruction.

Lovely building that seems rather stranded in the middle of a 1960’s-type shopping precinct. Round the back is a building of the University of Portsmouth that has an equally lovely galleon vane atop.

The guild hall is still fairly impressive but no access too the bolt I think.
