Memories of growing up in Southampton

It is a group where you can share memories of the area and somewhere for people to see how the city and surrounding towns have changed over the years.

We asked our members to finish a sentence for us when the group launched: You know you grew up in Southampton when you remember...

And these were the some of the results.

• Power in the Park
• The Ice Rink and the Top Rank
• Lyon's tea rooms by the Bargate
• Travelling on the Floating Bridge
• Texas DIY store on Mayflower Road

• Edwardian Seaside Manor
• Way Out West, Ocean Village
• The funfair in the Commons
• The Crystal Maze
• The Zoo
• Southampton Show
• Balloon Festival
• Playing on the hippos outside Sainsbury's

Do you remember Power in the Park 2000?

• The Dell
•  The Lizzie and the Mary in dock
• Running past the paddling pool on the Common to get to the fun fair in the distance
• Smashing your knees open on the concrete maze at Mayflower Park
• The old coach station at Bedford Place
