Get hold of reports on:
Royal Clarence Yard (Gosport) and Gunwharf Quays (Portsmouth) from the SMR/Curators...........
Not comprehensive but a good start.

You could try the museum just inside the dockyard, access from the Gosport ferry side

Hullo Trowelhead. Another place to look would be the Portsmouth Papers, a good local history research report series. You can find a list of reports available from Portsmouth Museums at

Good luck,

There is also a Naval Dockyards Society; their website is at

You might find the bibliography section most useful for your purposes - if you haven't found it already, of course.
