A medieval gatehouse, built about 1180 and extended in 1320, now sits slap bang in the middle of the shopping centre. The top floor is now a Heritage Visitor Centre. The Bargate is also the beginning of the original Old Town Walk (pdf); see Do below.
Built in 1495 for Sir John Dawtry, the Controller of Customs in Southampton.
One of the earliest surviving merchant's houses in England. It has been restored to its mid-14th-century appearance and replica furnishings provide an insight into medieval life.
The Bargate has been refurbished and given a new lease of life as a contemporary art gallery and home to the arts organisation A Space.
Opened in 2012, SeaCity contains two main galleries: the first telling the history of Southampton through artefacts and interactive displays; the second dedicated to the voyage and sinking of the RMS Titanic and the Southampton residents who served as crew and passengers. A third space is used for temporary exhibitions, and there is also a cafe and shop. The museum is on the west facing side of the building with the entrance directly beneath the clock tower.
A multipurpose venue, mostly featuring touring comedy and rock acts, but also classical concerts and civic functions.
