At its formation it occupied the Old Town Hall, in the High Street; but on theremoval of that ―ancient landmark,‖ a room was taken in Bishop Street, Portsea, where formany years it sensibly declined. In 1841, however, an effort was made to re-establish it, andthe present building, until then occupied as a dissenting chapel, was purchased bysubscription. The front part was re-built, and presents a very pretty exterior. The institutioncontains a very spacious lecture-room capable of containing between 400 and 500 persons, ahandsome committee-room, a library, and a laboratory. During the session, whichcommences in October and terminates in March, lectures are delivered weekly, on Monday19

evenings, on literary and scientific subjects; and the library, containing about 1,000 volumes,is open for the use of the members every evening (except Saturday and Sunday) throughoutthe year. These advantages are within the reach of all classes, the subscription being eightshillings per annum. It at present numbers about 350 members.‖(Charpentier‘s New Portsmouth Guide 11th ed., 1860, pp.73-4)W.G. GATES wrote about the building and the society:―Originally known as the ―Long Room‖ in Bishop Street, Portsea, this building was ownedby William Pike, the founder of Messrs Pike, Spicer and Co., Brewers. In 1768 it was let tothe Wesleyan Methodists and purchased by them in 1778. Owing to the rapid increase ofMethodism in Portsmouth, the premises were sold in 1780 and the Society removed to thelarge chapel in Daniel Street. A ―Literary Society‖, established in 1825, held its meetings inthe old Town Hall, then situated in the centre of High Street, and removed in 1837 to the―Long Room‖ in Bishop Street. From this time the Society declined. However, in 1841, anoffer was made by special subscription to reorganize it; a new front was built on to the oldpremises and the interior much improved, a lecture room being added and the Library beingfurnished with upwards of a thousand volumes. The Society continued its useful work formany years and eventually the Building with its valuable Library was sold
