Great video @a long, long time ago, thank you for the local insight (from your neighbours in Bournemouth)! Here are a few discrepancies between your narration and subtitles: @2:36 you say the soldiers break into St Michael's, but the subtitles say, 'brake' @6:52 you are speaking about the (correct) date of the Titanic, but the subtitles say 1812. Thank you again for your videos. I am a History teacher, looking to help my students revise for their Edexcel exams; hence, I was pleased to find your channel! :)
Really cool mix of animations and on location shooting. The way you present it reminds me of the British history documentaires I used to watch when I was young. Keep it up!
I like the enthusiasm of the host of the video and how she opened the video with the actual footage of her in her hometown! It was a really nice way to hook in your viewer! Thumbs up and have a Merry Christmas! :)
Lived in Southampton for 7 years! Can't say I loved it, and am glad I moved away, but am also glad to have found this video on a random nostalgic TH-cam search. Great stuff!
Lived heat my whole life in Harefield , and Bursledon and after playing assassins creed Valhalla it made me realise how much history our country has even little city’s like Southampton , to think the romans were here first Its crazy
Damn, that city has a lot of history. The only history my city has is that it was modeled after the Union Jack and there's a gate there that was built to commemorate the 60th year of Victoria's reign. Awesome video, btw.
Thanks, I'm pleased you liked it! And yes, I feel like I got lucky when it came to the local history collab! I'm now trying to imagine a city shaped like a union jack...
It’s really nice to see some content about Southampton and it’s history! I’ve spent most of last year there as an exchange student and absolutely loved it. Your video brought me right back, so thanks for that! :)
A long, long time ago... I’m definitely looking forward to future content, your presentation style is really nice! :) And Southampton is great, really didn’t expect it when I first arrived. Information about the city is so sparse online, it really paints a wrong picture.
How did you conduct your research on your home tow? I don't have much on my except some photo before the second war and the history of her siege by Vauban. There is wikipedia page whit other information but there are resume and with few details.
I know that in the North East of the US towns will have history books filled with old pictures and generalized histories of the town and certain families who lived in it. If you could find out if your town has history books than that'd be a good place to start
Southampton's history is reasonably well documented and I was able to find some stuff online. Some of the sources contradicted one another slightly, but because Project Homecoming had a deadline, I had to leave that kind of stuff out - there wasn't time to work out which source was right etc. There was a website made by a local man about the city's history, which was really helpful, although it looked like it was ripped straight out of 2001!
Most interesting! The walls of a city are truly the record of its history, with all the scars of time, use and war carved on them. Its a pity many such sites were damaged in the 19th century or even destroyed just because people could not see their historical value. This is true for my city as well.
This was a very interesting video, one can feel you are proud of your city. Southampton has a lot of history, but it also looks quite modern in places. This is particularly interesting to me because I am thinking of moving there if I can. I went there once and have always had a good impression of Southampton ever since, the people I met there were very helpful and friendly. So, if I am lucky maybe I will be living there soon. Thank you for this interesting video and very good presentation. It really was well done.
Great video, very in depth and interesting but short and concise. Nicely done! However, as a resident of Pompey for about 5 years, I gotta say I don't agree with your last comment! ;)
fascinating. I lived in Northampton for many years, but this is about 3000 miles west of you. you smiled the entire time you were on … do you smile that much in real life?
The Northampton I know is about 100 miles north of Southampton so I'm guessing there must be another one. And yes I'm a very smiley person also v good at smiling when I really shouldn't lol
@@Alonglongtimeago Keep smiling!! American settlers had this fun idea of naming the meadows and forest where they started building after the town they left in Europe or some favorite city from biblical antiquity. see also Rome, NY; Paris, TX; every town name east of the Mississippi River including Northampton, MA [ home of Smith College and the Graham Cracker]
Great video and really well put together, well done! My only question was about this settlement on the river Test you speak of. Surely this would be Hamtun itself? It does lay between the Itchen and the Test. I have never heard of any other place of size or importance apart from Saxon era Hamwic at present day St. Mary's and Viking era Olufstun which became Woolston. Both of these were on either bank of the Itchen. What are your thoughts? Cheers. Brendan.
I'll be honest I don't know as I researched only for the video and haven't thought about Southampton's history since, so I don't think I really have any useful input
Pleased you found the video interesting! Also, I'm surprised you didn't know about Prince Frederick's support for XR, it's a well known historical fact :D
I loved that! Southhampton sounds so much better than Portsmouth. By the way the most recent additions to its defences have been a shopping center and its expansion? :-D
Pleased you appreciate Soton's superiority over Pompey! :D The expansion means that when enemies come over from Portsmouth, they get caught in the outskirts and get lost so they never make it to the city centre. For those enemies that do make it, the shopping centre provides as a distraction, so that they end up at build-a-bear rather than attacking the locals. Maybe I should have made that clearer in the video! :D
@@Alonglongtimeago alright alright it's time for tommy b to explain his issues with your reply right here in an organised list: 1. You didn't answer my question and that makes me very sad 2. You replied to my comment 3 days after christmas so if I did have a christmas wish I would have to wait 363 days for it 3. Number 3 4. My christmas wish is for you to keep making quality videos like this love you jasmine :)
Your grandfather looks just like a young boy when he was in the war. Did he lie about his age to join up or does he just look really young in the photo?
Nope, he only got conscripted at the end of the war when he turned 18. A lot of people in my family struggle with looking young for our age - people often think I'm 14 and not 18 for instance (which is really annoying bcuz I don't like being treated like a 14 yro)
Do you think that the pan Margaret Thatcher envisaged of having the UK Join NAFTA would benefit Southampton's economy? I'm baffled that someone actually madew a video about Albuquerque, we don;t get a lot of attention
I mean, everything Thatcher did was pretty much benefit the south at the expense of everywhere north of London. But Southampton is south of London, so it might have benefited the city? Also, the Cynical Historian is not a mere 'someone'! :D

Love this city. Can't wait to go back!

The bargate shopping centre was so good! The sega arcade is sorely missed
Great video Jasmine, always interesting to see old walls and ruins
Thanks :) Although your spelling of my name bothers me!!
@@Alonglongtimeago touché! I'll work on that!
Thank you so much for posting this very interesting video about your home city. 💚
This was the most unique History video Ive seen in a WHILE.
PLS keep it up.
Omg thank you

March 1969: John Lennon and Yoko Ono were standing in the dock at Southampton, trying to get to Holland or France!
