This illustrated history portrays one of England's finest cities.
It provides a nostalgic look at Southampton's past and highlights
the special character of some of its most important historic sites.
The photographs are taken from the Historic England Archive, a
unique collection of over 12 million photographs, drawings, plans
and documents covering England's archaeology, architecture, social
and local history. Pictures date from the earliest days of
photography to the present and cover subjects from Bronze Age
burials and medieval churches to cinemas and seaside resorts.
Historic England: Southampton shows the city as it once was, from
its churches, parks, streets and alleyways to its famous old docks.
The city, once a popular eighteenth-century spa resort, has grown
with the expansion of its commercial docks throughout the last 200
years and has witnessed everything from seamen's strikes to
shipwrecks, notably the Titanic and Queen Mary, as well as the
other famous ocean liners that have called at the port since the
1840s. The city suffered greatly during the twentieth century when
extensive Second World War bombing and subsequent town planning led
to a reduction in the number of many fine and interesting
buildings. Dramatic changes have taken place and, by the late
twentieth century and into the twenty-first century, it has been
transformed into a new, dynamic, bustling city. This book will help
you discover Southampton's colourful and fascinating history.
