Lord Street Southport is a famous name for good shopping. A typical Victorian Street with wide pavements, canopies over the shops, trees and benches all along to sit and relax on a warm day. Not as many interesting shops as there used to be but there as still some.
The Gardens on the promenade are lovely and the walk over the bridge to the beach is still the same as I imagine it was in Victorian days.
Traffic Wardens are the biggest problem in Southport. It is difficult to find a parking space in the Town but the pay and display has now been extended to out of town and its not cheap. Best bet is to park in Morrisons Car Park in Tulketh Street or B & M Bargains at the end of Lord Street.
Footnote - forget the beach - and there is no leisure facilities at all not a good place for a holiday with children if the weather is bad.

A better choice for parking (unless it's for a very quick visit) is the 'Park and Ride' which costs about 40p for a day and includes free bus ride into the centre. Paul.

Nice review - lack of detail stops it getting a VH, but it's well thought out. I'm slightly surprised to hear that Morrisons is still there - I used to buy my Scotch eggs there, 'cause no-one else did cheap ones!
