I am ridiculously proud to have studied and lived here! I so wish I could somehow restore the city to its former glory... restore the old town INTO an old town for starters. So many opportunities here.
This is a wonderful video summarising a beautiful city in this day and age. You should produce a series based on specific periods. Incredible that the city has such history!
We're very built up but now with the developments of Debenhams, leisure world, maritime gateway, mayflower Park, train station, bargate and the completed ocean Village, centenary Quay etc we will be a powerhouse and have a peng skyline. Love the half Cockley half farmer accent , very ard. Up the saints mush
Southampton born and bred but now living abroad, it was good to watch this. I remember being in the town carnival in the 70s dressed as a pilgrim . . . with "papier mache" West Gate . .
Remember seeing this on 31st December 2000 where West Quay South is now, projected onto old town walls, but was then unfortunately interrupted by breakdowns. Nice to see it right the way through......
o my good I living so long in here I love it as my home citi malaga. I use to walk and smell the pure aire,relax in the garden ,walk and feel like home. I was living in landguard road. old northam road yea southampton rules!
One or two errors and missed out things, like the double high tide is not just Southampton that gets type of tide, there are a fair few places in the world that has double high tide, and the one in China even has a double low water, what causes the double high is the bounce back. But having these double high tides has it down turns also, like the tidal range is shallower and the movement of water becomes slower. Like we only have the highest tides of 4.9 metres, which will only give us an 8 knot down tide speed, even in the medieval times long before they started to dredge the channel, ships could only get to the town walls at high tide, in the 1600s and 1700s, they put walls of planks along the low point of the tide, so when the tide was on its way out it would cut a deeper channel. Which extended the length of time a ship could come up river to the port
A truly awful film with dreadful voices, silly script (it was like a macaroni pudding), leaps around and totally fails to portray Southampton's vibrancy, its stature and its wonderful people. And I am a Yorkshireman! Can't believe it was a professional production.
Those voices are (or were) the accent of Southampton. And that 'script' were taken from newspaper articles and dairies. For validation of the accent just listen to Benny Hill's accent.
Lousy speaker. Too soft, and poor enunciation/diction. And, NO, I am not hard of hearing. This could be interesting, but as it stands, mostly unintelligible.

Really interesting and well made.
Southampton, a beautiful sight in your rear view mirror.
I’m related to willam the conqueror
The Vikings arrived long before 1000 A.D. They had already discovered North America by then.
Not Vikings it was the Danes, same people but a different era in the Dane's long saga
