5 Copyright by GPSmyCity.com - Page 5 - A) Bargate Monument (must see) The Bargate is a building in the city centre of Southampton. Constructed in Norman times as part of the fortified walled city, the Bargate was the main point of entry and exit to and from the north. Since Southampton is on the south coast, this made the Bargate the main gateway to the city. The Bargate is a Grade I listed building and a scheduled monument. The Bargate was built circa 1180 AD, constructed of stone and flint. Additional archways were added in 1764 and Further alterations were made to the building around 1290, when large drum towers were added to the north side, with arrow slit windows. The room above the gate itself has known several uses. It was originally used as the city's guildhall, until the 1770s. It was at this point that the city began to grow to the north of the gate. Also during the eighteenth century, five panels containing painted shields were added to the building.

It had weapons fixed into the floor, with the principal firing platform on top. The building underwent reconstruction and the Museum of Archeology was opened in Address: Winkle Street, Southampton, Hampshire, SO14 2NY, UK Image Courtesy of Wikimedia and Christophe.Finot D) Southampton Maritime Museum (must see) Southampton Maritime Museum is housed inside the Wool House, a medieval warehouse. This museum documents the maritime heritage of Southampton and the Solent area, its history in ocean liners and in particular its connection to the RMS Titanic. Its mission statement is: "To collect, preserve, display and interpret artifacts and information to reflect the widest range of history of the city and its people; to promote enjoyment, awareness of the engagement with Southampton's heritage, via the presentation of the life of the city and its people." The Wool House was built just after 1400 to store wool for export to Italy. In the early 19th century it was used as a prison for Napoleonic French prisoners of war. The building was restored by the Southampton City Corporation and adapted to the Southampton Maritime Museum in June It is a Grade I listed building.

Built in about 1290 by John Fortin, a prosperous merchant, the house survived many centuries of domestic and commercial use largely intact. German bomb damage in 1940 revealed the medieval interior of the house, and in the 1980s it was restored to resemble its initial appearance and placed in the care of English Heritage, to be run as a tourist attraction. The house is built to a medieval right-angle, narrow plan design, with an undercroft to store wine at a constant temperature, and a first-storey bedchamber that projects out into the street to add additional space. The building is architecturally significant because, as historian Glyn Coppack highlights, it is "the only building of its type to survive substantially as first built"; it is a Grade I listed building and scheduled monument.

The church is a Grade I Listed building. Archaeological evidence has dated the foundation of the church at 1070 and the church was dedicated to St. Michael, patron saint of Normandy. The original church was built on a cruciform plan. The first documentary evidence of the existence of St. Michael's was in 1160 when Henry II granted the Chapels of St. Michael, Holyrood, St. Lawrence and All Saints to the monks of St. Denys, who retained the patronage until the Dissolution in 1537 when St. Michael's passed to the Crown. The most famous tomb in the church is that of Sir Richard Lyster. Lyster was Chief Baron and later Lord Chief Justice of the Common pleas. His tomb was erected in The tomb is situated in the north-east corner of the church and is a delightful early-elizabethan example of the use of fluted columns and other classical details. By the north-east corner of the tower is part of a 12th century gravestone, with a carving of a Bishop in mass vestments, holding a crozier. High on the south wall is a memorial to Bennet Langton, with Samuel Johnson's epitaph to his close friend.

I) Civic Centre (must see) The Civic Centre, home of the Southampton City Council, houses a police station, council offices, the Guildhall venue, an art gallery and library. On July 1, 1930 Prince Albert, Duke of York laid the foundation stone in a ceremony presided over by mayor Hector Young. The south block, the municipal offices, was the first to be opened. This too was opened by the Duke of York and his wife, the Duchess of York, on November 8, The second block, opened in 1933 by Viscount Sankey, the Lord Chancellor, was the west block, the law courts, which includes the famous clock tower, known at the time as Kimber's Chimney, after the former mayor.

J) Titanic Memorial (must see) The Titanic Engineers' Memorial is a memorial in East (Andrews) Park, Southampton, to those who died in the RMS Titanic disaster on 15 April The bronze and granite memorial was originally unveiled by Sir Archibald Denny, president of the Institute of Marine Engineers on 22 April The event was attended by an estimated 100,000 Southampton residents. The monument was originally erected with funding from worldwide donations. It was designed and built by Whitehead and Son of the Imperial Works, Kennington Oval in London. It is officially a Grade II listed building. It features a bronze statue of Nike, the Greek Winged Goddess of Victory, created by Trieste-born sculptor Romeo Rathmann, and carvings which represent the engineer officers of the ship, who died in the disaster. On a sunny afternoon on 22 April 1914, 100,000 people gathered in Andrews Park, Southampton to witness the unveiling of the memorial to the engineers who lost their lives on the Titanic two years earlier. The bronze and granite structure was draped in the Union flag. The monument was restored in 2010 in a joint venture between Southampton City Council and TV production company Twenty Twenty Television. Almost opposite the main memorial, on the corner of Cumberland Place and London Road, is the Titanic Musicians' Memorial to Wallace Hartley and the other musicians who played on the Titanic.
