Ever wondered what the Hanwell Community Centre looked like? Or why Portsmouth Guildhall deserves one of those blue heritage plaques? Or where the guys from Deep Purple used to live?

It's all part of the new DPAS Deep Purple on-line A-Z, listing places important in the history of the band. There are pictures old and new and descriptive text, so you can visit next time you're in the area.

Don't forget that some sites are private residences, and others are business premises which may not have public access. Please respect people's privacy.
