19th-Century Heritage: A Piece of Portsmouth Brewing History

The Auckland Arms stands as a rare surviving jewel of Portsmouth’s 19th-century brewing architecture. Built for Long’s Brewery, the pub retains its striking original glazed tile faΓ§ade, carved mahogany woodwork, and historic two-room layout that has welcomed generations of Southsea locals for well over a century.
