A culmination of photographs makes up the exhibition, which combined showcase the true diversity of Southampton. Included are 45 beautiful pictures chosen from over a hundred sent in from the community, as part of a competition. There is an amazing range of pictures, including photos of the Itchen Bridge, the docks, cruise ships and the cities parks to name but a few.
