Give it to Ron Posted 30 October, 2011 Share Posted 30 October, 2011 I have just come back from visiting my daughter down at Cardiff Uni and it really disappoints me that we don't have an area like Cardiff Bay. What a waste of the waterfront - around Mayflower Park and Ocean Village. It was absolutely heaving with people on Friday afternoon - the weather helped I know but we get far better weather here than Wales. Loads of restaurants, theatre, cinema, arts and boat trips.

alpine_saint Posted 30 October, 2011 Share Posted 30 October, 2011 How many projects have been proposed for Southampton's waterfront ? Southampton is the city where only architects get rich, because the money is never found for these grandiose projects. Have they started the arts centre on the old T & G site yet ?

Golden Balls Posted 30 October, 2011 Share Posted 30 October, 2011 We have wasted Ocean Village. We will no doubt waste Mayflower Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint-scooby Posted 30 October, 2011 Share Posted 30 October, 2011 For non shopping trips Soton is lacking "shi tty" in quite a few ways, there are some interesting places, but for a city rich in history its pi $$ poor. I was down in at place called Gun Wharf the other day and even though it was a damp grey day, there was loads going on, for those who have not been there, there is a very tall tower that you can go up and have a look around, its very good. I did hear Soton was going to get a simular thing "when" So saw this and thought, not a bad price for a the tallest bit of art, I know its ugly, but 700 people an hour ---churrrr khinnnngg, almost as good a that Ikea carpark ramp thing..... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1262533/The-Hubble-Bubble-tower-welcome-visitors-London-2012-Olympics.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OVER THE HILL Posted 30 October, 2011 Share Posted 30 October, 2011 A Spitfire tribute monument is planned for the waterfront area and looks pretty good in this picture. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/9300673.Landmark_Spitfire_tribute_designs_open_to_public/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
