Description: Southampton has the third most extensive medieval town walls surviving in Britain today (only Chester and York have more). This photograph shows one of two towers which once flanked the Water Gate on the southern side of the town walls (the other tower has been completely erased). As the name indicates, the Water Gate used to open out onto Southampton Water; however, much land has since been reclaimed by the docks.
