The South East

South-East England
 The South East, centred on London, has a population and
wealth to match many nation-states. This is the dominant

area of England and the most rapidly growing one,
although planning controls such as greenbelts have
restricted the urban sprawl of London since the mid-20th
century.
 While fully one-third of the South East is still devoted to
farming or horticulture, the region as a whole also has an

extensive range of manufacturing industry. With
improvements in the transportation systems, however,
nuclear and space research facilities, retailing, advertising,
high-technology industries, and some services have
moved to areas outside London, including Surrey,
Buckinghamshire, and Hertfordshire.
Industry
 After London the South East has the

highest population density in the UK and is
often referred to as the engine of the British
economy. The region has the most varied
economy of all UK regions.
Industry
 It is home to many international engineering

and technology companies, particularly in
the defence and aero industries. Other well-
developed sectors are IT, the pharmaceutical
industry, BioTech and agriculture (mainly
fruit). The Brighton area is a hotspot for the
creative sector, including a concentration of
interactive media.
The Port of Dover
The Port of Dover is a cross-channel ferry,

cruise terminal, maritime cargo and marina
facility situated in Dover, Kent, south-east
England.

Dover Castle
Dover Castle
 This site was the primary defensive stronghold of England
from ancient Roman until modern times. For many

centuries English troops were garrisoned within these
walls, protecting the coast from any European menace.
This Roman lighthouse is a reminder that 2000 years ago
the Romans landed here and established their colony of
Britannia.
The Port of Southampton
 The Port of Southampton is a passenger and

cargo port in the central part of the south coast of
England. The modern era in the history of the
Port of Southampton began when the first dock
was inaugurated in 1843. The port has been
owned and operated by Associated British Ports
since 1982, and is the busiest cruise terminal and
second largest container port in the UK.
The University of Surrey
 The University of Surrey was established

on 9 September 1966 with the grant of its
Royal Charter, but its roots go back to a
late 19th-century concern to provide greater
access to further and higher education for
the poorer inhabitants of London.
The University of Surrey
 On our Stag Hill campus, you’ll find a

number of attractive works of art, including
the Surrey Stag,
 All The Gang Are Here,
 the Geodesic Dome
 the Spine.
 The Stag denotes the medieval royal
hunting park on which the main
campus is built.
 The Stag holding a key is taken from

the University coat of arms, and has
largely been turned into a silhouette.
All The Gang Are Here
The Geodesic Dome
The Spine
 Other nearby works are Narcissus, which was
lent to the University by internationally-known
sculptor, William Pye. The visitors can also spot
three charming stainless steel fish sculptures
around campus: a fish on a bicycle and another
on a unicycle are located to the left of Senate
House, and the third can be seen riding a tricycle
outside the Library.
Narcissus
 Based on the myth of Narcissus, forms are repeated
as if reflecting each other and the mirror, polished
stainless steel, reflects all that surrounds it.
The University of Southampton
 The University of Southampton is a research

university in Southampton, England. The
university's origins date back to the founding of
the Hartley Institution in 1862. In 1902, the
Institution developed into the Hartley
University College, awarding degrees from the
University of London. On 29 April 1952, the
institution was granted full university status,
allowing it to award its own degrees.
Coat of arms- Significance
 "The coat of arms signifies our strong connections
with our local community, and our commitment to

peace and advancement through learning."
 Our motto strenuis ardua cedent means ‘the heights
yield to endeavour’, or, in other words 'hard work is

what leads to success'.
The University of Oxford
 As the oldest university in the English-

speaking world, Oxford is a unique and
historic institution. There is no clear date of
foundation, but teaching existed at Oxford
in some form in 1096 and developed
rapidly from 1167, when Henry II banned
English students from attending the
University of Paris.
 The coat of arms of the University of
Oxford depicts an open book with the

inscription Dominus Illuminatio Mea (Latin
for 'The Lord is my light') , surrounded by
three golden crowns.
