The Pictures Amphitheatre
Be awestruck as you learn about the local Olympians who did Havant proud. Never heard of Tommy Green or Henry Taylor? Does Richard Burnell or Bert Bushnell light your Olympic flame? Henry Taylor had the rare honour of winning three Olympic Gold Medals at the 1908 London Games: a triumph not repeated by a Great Britain competitor until Sir Chris Hoy in 2008.
