Well that “secrets” is a little bit of an exaggeration; it’s possibly more “paths less trodden”. Bits of Southsea you are less likely to see even as a resident.

For example, the alley between the Chinese takeaway and Sam’s Place on Grove Road South. Not exactly a public thoroughfare, but not entirely trespassing either.

And at the end of the alleyway, is the courtyard and the front doors of a few places of residence.

And around the corner, there’s an alley off Wilton Place … itself off Marmion Road.

And looking back towards Wilton Place.
