Towns of Two Halves extracts:
● “God’s House Tower presents the history of Southampton in a particularly imaginative way – plus some gallery space – set in a spectacular corner of the city walls.”
● “While you’re here [SeaCity Museum], make a point of going to the loo. They’re located in old cells. Some of the original doors provide a sense of menace, and the white tiles are cold, but the rooms and fittings are otherwise luxurious.”
● “The Southampton Pocket Guide is bright, superficially attractive…[with] full colour, lively layout, creative but disciplined typography… and the proof-reading is hopeless.”
