SOUTHAMPTON STORIES

Southampton has a rich medieval and maritime history that creates a wealth of stories told across generations. Well known for its connection with the Titanic and remaining visible history with the Bargate Monument and Old Town Walls, you don’t need to go far before you uncover another moment in history.

From the Bargate Monument to Town Quay, you’ll discover Southampton’s Old Town. Here you’ll find a history-lovers playground. Once a medieval gatehouse Southampton’s most iconic monument the Bargate, now acts as a gateway to the Old Town. This area of the city has over 90 listed buildings and more than 30 ancient monuments, with medieval wine vaults, an array of medieval churches, and fine Georgian houses and hotels.

Holy Rood church is another distinct landmark on the corner of Bernard Street, it was bombed in WW2 and the 13-tonne anchor from Southampton’s famous cruise liner, QE2 takes pride of place in front of the church which is dedicated to the sailors of the Merchant Navy.

It’s not just the moments in time but the people that make Southampton so special. Jane Austen spent three periods of her life in Southampton; as a schoolgirl, as a young woman and as an adult when she, her mother and sister lived with her brother Frank Austen in a house near Southampton Castle.

Southampton’s royal connections include Henry II who landed in Southampton in 1174, dressed as a pilgrim.

In 1343 Edward III gave the bottom end of the city to his wife Queen Phillipa to start her new school, Queens College Oxford. Which is why the city has Oxford Street, College Street, John Street and Queens Park.

SPECIAL EVENT

1620 - 2020

Mayf lower 400

The 400th anniversary of the sailing of the Mayflower from the UK to the New World takes place this year 2020.

In 1620 the Pilgrims chartered the Mayflower to sail to the New World to escape religious oppression in England. They also bought a smaller boat the Speedwell, which was originally built in Southampton. Southampton was chosen as the rendezvous point for the voyage to America. The Mayflower sailed from London with about 70 people on board and arrived in Southampton about the 29th July where others joined her.

The Speedwell was being refitted in Holland and began its journey on 1st August from Delft Haven near Rotterdam with less than 50 passengers aboard.

On arrival at Southampton the ship had to have another refit at West Quay with money the Pilgrims could ill afford. As a result the group had to sell some of their belongings, food and stores, to pay Southampton its harbour and other dues. The party from both ships spent nearly two weeks in Southampton.

At least one Southampton resident, John Alden, joined the emigrants as a cooper and it is possible that other Southampton families joined the Pilgrims at this time.

The Speedwell and the Mayflower eventually sailed from Southampton for the New World on the 15th August 1620. Unfortunately The Speedwell begun to leak and was deemed too unreliable to attempt the crossing so all the people and stores transferred to the Mayflower.

“We’re quite global in our historic outlook because we’re in place where people left from to go around the world” SPENCER BOWMAN METTRICKS

Oxford Street is where to head to next, passing the former Sailors Home (now Salvation Army Centre).

Stop in the Grapes pub which dates to the 1850’s.

Four members of the Titanic’s crew, including three brothers named Slade, famously stayed here too long on the morning of the ship’s departure. They arrived at the quayside as the ship was about to leave and were refused entry.

Close by is the impressive South Western House, formerly a hotel where many of the wealthy guests stayed the night before the Titanic sailed. The Grand Cafe is situated in this historic building and a perfect stop for refreshments and to soak up the atmosphere of a bygone era.

Finally walk down Canute Road to the Canute chambers, the former headquarters of the White Star Line, and see where the Southampton families anxiously gathered to await news of their loved ones.

RELAXATION Southampton can be an idyllic setting for relaxation with its waterfront views and green spaces. It can be the perfect place to unwind with a walk or bike ride through the parks, taking to the water by boat, or being pampered in one of the city’s luxury hotels.

The city’s waterfront developments and marinas offer wonderful opportunities to sit back and relax and watch the sumptuous yachts go by. If nothing else then a simple stroll around the Maritime Quarter will relax and immerse you, with fabulous historical architecture to glorious views. Admire the seasonal changes in Queen’s Park and relax on a bench by the General Gordon Memorial, you may even catch a glimpse of a cruise ship as it passes by the nearby docks.

Southampton offers a surprising amount of green space for a city. With East Park, Palmerston Park, Houndwell Park and Hoglands Park, all leading into one another you can walk the entire stretch of the city centre surrounded by relaxing green space. Take a picnic and sit amongst the well-manicured flower beds and discover some of Southampton’s history with the Titanic Engineers Memorial and the Cenotaph.

Blissfully nestled between the waterfront and The New Forest National Park, the Waterside area from Totton to Calshot is full of small towns, picturesque locations and an abundance of things to do. Easily accessible from the city by the Hythe Ferry, car or numerous bus routes, it’s a place to unwind and relax away from the busy city centre.

During the warm summer evenings, relax with a glass of wine and a bite to eat in the sunshine as you dine alfresco! You’ll find restaurants and bars across the city at Westquay, Oxford Street, and Ocean Village that spill out onto the streets, providing a great setting to unwind.

COASTAL EXPLORATION Southampton is a maritime city offering access to life on the ocean wave! Whether you’re enjoying a stroll along the waterfront, taking in the views of the Solent while enjoying a bite to eat, or heading out on the water yourself, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy this coastal city.

There’s nothing quite like watching those big ships when they are coming in and out of Southampton port. At Mayflower Park you can get up close to the liners, you’ll also find special events taking place throughout the year to celebrate the naming and arrival of new ships.

One of the best ways to view the cruise ships is to join them on the water. Blue Funnel Cruises offer a variety of day cruises from Town Quay including Harbour Tours, River Cruises, Solent Cruises and a range of dinner and party options. The Hythe Ferry passes alongside the QEII Terminal offering a unique and close up experience of the magnificent liners.

With superb views and easy access to the Solent, it’s no surprise that Southampton’s sailing scene is a huge part of this city’s life. You can even get out on the water on an organised boat tour with Blue Funnel Cruises, or learn to sail yourself with Southampton Water Activities Centre (SWAC).

If you’re a bit of a thrill-seeker then you’ll want to try a RIB charter experience with Seadogz who run exhilarating RIB adventures all year round. Southampton is also home to the oldest active cargo-passenger steamship in Europe, the SS Sheildhall, with a cruise programme running between May and September for those who prefer a more gentle experience.

A unique feature of the Solent is Calshot Spit, a mile-long sand and shingle bank that protrudes into Southampton water. A great spot to wave off those lucky cruise passengers, it’s home to Calshot Activities Center where you can try your hand at sailing, kite-surfing and other water-based activities. It’s also the base of the National Coastwatch Institution (NCI) Tower and Calshot RNLI Lifeboat Station, 36

TRAVEL IN THE CITY Travelling throughout Southampton is easy and with major links on land, rail and sea, the city is a great stopping off venue, no matter where you need to go.
