Lord Street Southport is a wide victorian boulevard and is the main street and shopping area of this popular seaside resort on the west coast of England in the United Kingdom.
Southport was founded in 1792 after the building of a hotel. The hotel was quickly surrounded in buildings as the town grew. North of southport is Churchtown which was a fishing port and the fact that the town was south of the port led to the name "South-Port". Although there was an earlier mention of the name it is generally accepted that it was first mentioned by name in 1826.
The initial growth of Southport was rather slow but in 1848 a new railway was opened between Southport and Liverpool. Visitors could now travel easier and quicker than before and the twn flourished as a result. Much of the victorian buildings and amenities remain but, sadly, many of the larger houses have been demolished so that flats or apartments can be built on the ground.
One of my favorite places in Southport is the Victorian Botanic Gardens. While these gardens appear smaller than those at Hesketh Park I much prefer the little twists and turns and timeless nature of Botanic Gardens. The museum in the gardens had many interesting objects and I was, as a child, fascinated by the wonderful fire engine on the ground floor.
