Southport lies on the North-West coast, for those not familiar with that side of the UK it's somewhere in the middle between Liverpool and Blackpool.

​

Some call it the seaside resort with no sea, just miles and miles of sand and it was founded way back in 1792. I moved here in 2015 and a lot has happened in the intervening 223 years but some of the old stuff it is still here, and that's the point of the website.

​

I immediately fell in love with the Victorian architecture and the amazing symmetrical street map that stretches about 8 miles from Banks to Ainsdale and is barely 3 miles wide at any point.

​

I have decided to embrace Southport and try to get to know the place. I intend to photograph as many of the buildings, hotels, churches and other things of interest that I can and find out a bit about their history if possible. Oh and by the way Southport does have a sea!
