Check out the University of Southampton www.maritimebritain.org website, SSFC are one of the partners in a major research project which covers the period 1588 (Spanish Armada) to 1750 (The Seven Years War) when England went from being an insignificant country on the edge of the known world to a global superpower. We have produced short films featuring Southampton people who lived through these great events and this summer we are creating a new piece of street theatre and a short feature film, watch this space for details of performances, screens and a study day supported by a generous grant from the Hampshire Archives Trust
