Guided walking tour - Sugar, slaves and Sea Bathing
As the 18th Century dawned Southampton had to reinvent itself, it began the century in the words of Daniel Defoe in a manner dying with age its fine houses, rich inhabitants and busy harbour were things of the past. All the town had was the sea, on three sides the waves lapped and so the town re-invented itself as a water-place, sea-bathing was the craze of the age. The Georgian period was a time of sugar, pouring in from the West Indies, of wealthy merchants whose servants were formerly slaves. Of the founding of the last American colony of Georgia, of visits from the five Iroquois kings and the Prince of Wales. Join us for a perambulation around streets if not paved with gold, at least improved with York stone courtesy of the Pavement Commissioners.
Please meet in St. Michaels Square at 10.50am.
Regrettably this tour is not suitable for people with mobility concerns.
