    very interesting l,ve often wondered what was there thank you for explaining this in such good detail Bob it's hard to imagine the sea being so close to there back in 1910 great story.

    Really interesting stuff. Well put together and I also had no idea the sea came in that far.

    Fantastic work Pastfinder.
    Good sound effects and graphics.
    And people wonder why sea levels are rising with all the land reclamation over the years.

    Thoroughly enjoyed that Bob. Had a look around there on a break and was also amazed at how near the sea used to be to the south side of the station !
    Keep up the good work mate.

    That's a great find. Too often we see things like that and don't ask the question "What was it?" When we do it can be fascinating!

    Interesting stuff. And well presented. It might have been an idea to mention the Southampton to Salisbury canal though, if only in passing.
    Whatever, enjoyable and educational. I'm looking forward to more episodes.

    I've been to Southampton Central Station numerous times & I think only once used the northern exit. I'll make a note to explore next time!

    The area was already a "park" of sorts prior to the replanting and installation of the moon gate. It was mainly used as a cutaway from the bend up to the Civic Centre to the station, but became very run down and was mainly used by the homeless and drug users. When it was decided to renovate it, it was also decided to make it into a memorial. Regarding the street levels, there was obviously a natural slope down towards the waterline, so the street level was built up well after the Emperia building was bombed.

      Thanks Mandy, I remember it as a park prior to renovation but as you say, not that pleasant. Very little info available on the history though.

      @@PASTFINDERexploring I enjoyed your video. I must admit I've never really looked at it that closely, so thanks!
