In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Cosham like this:
COSHAM, a village in the parishes of Widley and Wymering, Hants; adjacent to the junction of the South Coast and Southwestern railways, 4 miles NNE of Portsmouth. It is a neat place; and has an inn, a post office‡ under Portsmouth, and a railway station.
Cosham is now part of PORTSMOUTH Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how PORTSMOUTH has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Cosham itself, go to Statistics.
