Southampton
Southampton`s name was merged from Suth and Hamton
Original departing port of Mayflower and Speedwell for America
Under King Henry V, a major shipbuilding centre in medieval times
The Bargate in the city centre was the heart of power and the jail
HMS Titanic set off on her fateful voyage from Southampton in 1912
Air Force Spitfires, first flew from here in 1936 to defend our shores
Martine Climate and position makes it the warmest city in UK
Port is Britain`s `Gateway to the World` giving access to exotic places
The Crosshouse was a key stop on long journeys, built over 600 yrs ago

Oldest Bowling Green in the world, first played on in 1299
Now a vibrant city attracting people from all around the world.
