A Short Walk around Bedford Place, Southampton

Bedford Place in Southampton contains some of Southampton’s oldest shops, including W J French and Son, the oldest and largest independent shoe shop in Hampshire whose family have been trading in Southampton since 1803. Bedford Place was developed around 1820-1840 and some of the original buildings still remain. It was named after the Dukes of Bedford, who were former owners of the land which the street was built on.
