Welcome to Southampton Old Town

The 'Old Town' has come alive this summer with the re-opening of the Tudor House Museum in Bugle Street on 30 July 2011. In Autumn 2010, Westgate Hall re-opened (formerly known as 'Tudor Merchant Hall').

But, just what is Southampton Old Town? The Old Town Prospectus (Autumn 2010) tells us,

"The Old Town is now a vibrant quarter based on its own historic identity. It has a mix of building design dating from the 12th Century, through to high-quality Victorian architecture, to present day contemporary design, and is clearly bordered on three sides by one of the longest surviving stretches of medieval town walls in the country. This character area is now home to independent restaurants, wine bars, and hotels, and offers centralised urban living in modern apartments."
