In the heart of Southampton there are buildings which resemble a castle shape with the English flag on top of it. "Southampton's town walls are a sequence of defensive structures built around the town in southern England. Although earlier Roman and Anglo-Saxon settlements around Southampton had been fortified with walls or ditches, the later walls originate with the move of the town to the current site in the 10th century." -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southampton_town_walls
These walls were built in medieval times, and represent a defence mechanism. Southampton suffered in the Second World War. These walls are still in Southampton today so I decided to take a visit to see these walls.
