I stayed there last weekend. Never again. Receptions very helpful but unfortunately left something in the room and guest what it was taken by cleaners never to be seen again. They need to check out there housekeeping staff.

LIVED HERE ALL MY LIFE,, I,M 73,, AND ITS ONLY DUE TO SEVERAL BIG SUPERMARKETS THAT THE TOWN CENTRE IS SO BLEEK TO SAY THE LEAST,,, USED TO HAVE TO WALK SIDEWAYS ON THE PAVEMENTS BECAUSE THERE WERE SO MANY PEOPLE OUT SHOPPING NOW YOU CAN DRIVE A CAR ON THEM WITHOUT HITTING ANYBODY,,, PLZ DONT TRY IT.. JUST AN EXAMPLE,,

Buy some fitted sheets from the likes of Tesco from £6:00 and leave then there.

You need butter on Chorley cakes!❤

I've replenished B and M, with Chorley cakes, in my time. Previous career stints, you see.

I cant believe you just walked past the town hall - which is probably the grandest and most attractivie building in the town centre lol

I would rather eat my own waste than spend a second in that Brit hole. The place is rank. The tourists are worse.

Rip my hart what's happend in Southport. If was Manchester or Liverpool or London can understand

'River Aire' = Eller Beck.

Thanks, I enjoyed that.

My older brother read The Eagle and Dan Dare was part of our childhood.

Look at the old Belisha beacons on the crossing! You show some lovely areas off the beaten track.

TY for sharing this video.

Great review, beans on top of cheese. Big no no.

bought a few guitars from the old Dawsons store in late 70s. Saw Diamonds are Forever at the Court cinema

Didn’t expect to see you in our neck of the woods! Lived here 25years and had only one Chorley cake, maybe you can see why they’re not widely sold! Traditionally not sugared and eaten with thin covering of butter and a side of Lancashire cheese 🌹

Good old Booths, I worked there in the 70s when the shop was on Market Street. They were a standard stock item back then along with Eccles Cakes. Those items along with pork pies are at the top of our "what we miss list" since we arrived in Australia. Interestingly we can buy Bury Black Pudding here.

Crikey! I can’t believe you stayed in that place let alone paid money! Sorry😢

You can get them from one of the stalls on the closed market area opposite the closed chippy! Oh you found it...enjoy.👍

The Circus Tavern on Portland Street in Manchester doesn't claim to be the smallest pub, but you could fit three of 'em in there. I've been in both. Boozers should be measured on the interiors, and the Circus is tiny. Even the Grey Horse a few doors up is smaller than this Lakeside monstrocity. 41:58

I live in Southport and the Hotels used to be really nice until they were bought out by big companies. You are probably better looking at the small Bed and breakfasts for accomadation

Nice one stayed in that exact room about 2 years ago...£86 I think! Not as good as the Bliss which has great views. 👍🇬🇧

I was born & bred in Bolton I moved to Horwich when I got married & now live in the forest of Bowland I’m sad to see the decline of a once busy & bustling Town I hardly recognised it 😢 Even the museum isn’t what it was I spent hours in there as a child in the school holidays My favourite place was the Egyptology room the one consolation is the Mummy is still there No Aquarium now?? Apart from visiting my parents in the cemetery I don’t think I’ll be returning anytime soon 😢

Thank you for the video. Why is there Faroe Islands flag in the title?

This used to be a beautiful Hotel. It was very posh and only the wealthy could afford to stay there. There are other Southport Hotels that have gone the same way unfortunately because they have been taken over by large companies

Amazing! Great architecture, and everywhere looked so clean!

A huge problem with Southport is how the Liverpool contingent of the LCR, especially our beloved Metro Mayor, treats Southport with utter distain. I attended a meeting of Sefton businesspeople in Southport a few years ago and Rotherham was speaking. He banged on that Southport wasn't the brand, but it was Liverpool that was the brand that would bring people in. This didn't go down well with the local tourist businesses. He scarpered back to the city centre ASAP as he was too busy to answer a question. The town would be better going back to Lancashire. Of a day, Southport has its attractions and I enjoy shopping there only living about 10 miles away. It does have its problems like anywhere else....most of these problems need rounding up and locking up (the usual daytime drunks and druggies any other town or city has). The highlight for me is always a trip to The Atkinson as it's a really nice (free) museum and art gallery. It is worth a day out folks!

I moved to Bolton 40 years ago when I got married, it was a lovely bustling town back then. I remember when I was a kid my mum used to take me to Bolton shopping I loved the town. That's party why I moved here, but now what has happened to our beautiful town centre is tragic. I don't often venture into the town now I find it depressing, but what I can say there are still some really nice rural places within the Bolton boundary's.

The University has brought a lot of building and investment into Lincoln, to be honest it was fading a bit before then.

Would you sign the treaty?

Musketeer d'Artagnan ( From The Three Musketeers ) died at the siege of Maastricht . ( Not so far from the Natural Historic museum away )

Run away!…..

The Scarisbrick was the posh hotel once…mind you that was 50 years ago!

21:35 Come on lads. Got to move the fossils. Put your backs into it!

Bedank, tot ziens, nou hoe dan ook, alle, niet allemall lopen, goededag. (Thank you, good bye, well anyway, not all walking, good day) Could come in handy Andrew

Eggs straight from the the chicken coop. The Dutch may be flat, and small, but they know how to live, sometimes.

I love Southport ,there's nothing wrong with the place , yes there are some shut premises but its still clean and well maintained,

Looks to be a lovely area, but I wouldn’t be happy with the house arrangements either.

What happened to Bolton was " Greater Manchester " a pitiful days work from which this proud town never recovered. Biggest town outside the cities ( Jessica Lofthouse in her Lancashire books 1971) now a pitiful huge shadow and parody of its former self. Local paper prints a " Looking Back" section every Weds. The comparisons bring a tear to your eyes. Awful.

Where's the Mapa Mundi????

try ainsdale its really come up and I also work there😁

Kew Woods was a land fill site until the late 80's. It was re developed in the early 2000's.

Me and my fiancé stayed there because we got an upgrade to the Peaky Blinders hotel. It was my birthday and walked to the Hesketh arms for my birthday meal. And to top off the perfect night, it started to snow. Always loved Churchtown since I was little

Amazing. Have you thought of visiting Chichester? Wonderful Cathedral and also Roman walls. there is also a museum, which is free to enter with some great mosaics.

All the retail relocated on the Robin Park Shopping Centre. The actual town centre is depressing. King Street had all the night clubs that was decades ago. There was policing at one time and then stopped funding. I remember the area became notorious for sometime and then died off. This could be a generational thing, or the licensing became governed by the council and not the police that use to grant the licence. Therefore, there is a lot in that to do with saturation and venue types. Wigan is my birthplace but I've lived in various parts of the country. There are other places looking worse and it's fair to say the presant state of the country (social economics). However, the heritage and Haigh Hall I'm not really interested with that. Infact it would be better flattered and modernised. That's my opinion and really it's all appealing to one sector and its inverted... young people will not want to live here. There is nothing really for them.

Lovely

Andrew. Why didn't you do Cambridge Walks?

Quite a lot of incorrect information here. The road you're driving down within the first few minutes was originally "Long Lane", the ORIGINAL route to South Hawes/Southport from Scarisbrick Bridge. The Kew gardens station was on a totally different line, long gone. No part of Meols Cop Park (it is Blowick, not Kew) formed any part of Kew Gardens. Kew Gardens was accessed from The Alexandra Hotel, now the site of The Richmond Pub. The site closed in the early 1930s. Canal??? That is Fine Janes Brook!!! 🤨

The best full English brekkies in Southport are the steak breakfast at Lords cafe bar on Lord st or the full monty at the whistle stop cafe round the back of the train station 👍
