Over the last few decades, many shops in Fortuneswell have changed hands frequently, while a few shops have lasted longer periods.
The New Star Inn, Royal Portland Arms and the Britannia Inn are all pubs located in Fortuneswell.
The no longer remaining Regal Cinema was built in Fortuneswell during 1932.
It later became a Bingo hall, and then the Rumours Nightclub in the 1990s.
A victim of suspected arson, the nightclub caught fire one evening in 1992 and the remaining shell was demolished soon after.
Within the area of the old site of the cinema stands the Royal Manor Theatre.

A reminder of industry in the back streets of Fortuneswell is an old Victorian steam laundry, built in 1900, which later housed a Defence Industry Contractor.
In 1793 Robert Carr Brackenbury erected a small Methodist church within the village, known as Brackenbury's Chapel.
It was later replaced by the Underhill Methodist Church of 1899.
Opposite the church is the Portland Council Offices, which were built in 1934, and possess a fine council chamber.

Located in Fortuneswell and close to the villages of Castletown and Chiswell is Victoria Gardens, which were opened in 1904 to mark the 1897 Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria.
Towards the highest point of Fortuneswell, heading towards Priory Corner, is Old Hill – a very steep footpath linking Underhill with Tophill.
It was once a main route for those travelling from Tophill.

Infant and primary education within the village became provided by Isle of Portland Aldridge Community Academy in 2012.
The two schools within Fortuneswell, Brackenbury Infant School (including the Community Nursery) and Underhill Community Junior School, both closed in 2014, along with other schools on the island, all to be replaced by a new school situated at Southwell Business Park in 2016.
Fortuneswell was also home to Brackenbury Day School, which is now the Brackenbury Centre.
