dealt with a large number of customers from Southampton and wanted to also take
the opportunity of providing information about this city.
First settled by Romans, Southampton was chartered (c. 1155) by King
Henry II and incorporated in 1445. In the Middle Ages its location on
the English Channel helped it to become a major British port.
Southampton declined in the 17th–18th centuries but revived in the 19th
with the arrival of railways. It is England's second largest port.
Historic buildings include the 11th-century St. Michael's Church and the
12th-century King John's Palace, one of Britain's oldest domestic
buildings.
