Southport has been named among the worst seaside towns in the country by the Telegraph.
Despite its expansive sandy beaches and rich history, Southport was given a rating of 28 out of 100 in the Telegraph's recent round-up of the 20 best and worst seaside towns in Britain.
The Telegraph's choice will no doubt divide opinion, with many Merseysider's having fond memories of the town. For comparison, the paper rated Brighton 76 out of 100 points and Margate 69 out of 100.
