Located on the wall at Cosham train station, riding along Portsmouth Road. Look left and you feel like an eye is looking at you from the wall

Designed in 1832 by Lewis Vuillamy, Staunton’s Shell House is based on the Chichester Market Cross and made from locally sourced flint and pebbles from Emsworth beach. Originally, it would have had shells from Hayling Island lining the inner walls, but these have been lost over time, along with an odd collection of curiosities (including a stuffed crocodile, Roman pottery, a toucan beak and semi-precious gems).
