On Monday 5th October 1338, a fleet of ships entered Southampton harbour. These French and Genoese forces sacked part of Southampton, destroying stores, supplies and lives! There were no wall defences around the city! After the attack, Kind Edward III demanded that walls were to be built. Merchants warehouses soon became part of the city wall that encased Southampton. You can still spot doorways and windows today! . . . . . . #history #historical #historic #heritage #southampton | Haunted Histor
