On a recent episode of Coronation Street, Southport was described as the ‘Paris of the North’.
That might be a stretch but there are rumors that Napoleon III visited the town in 1838 during his exile in the UK and was reportedly so enamored by Lord Street he was inspired to rebuild parts of Paris in Southport's image.
Southport is beautiful and, while it may not live up to the grandeur it once had, the architecture is stunning and has a lot to offer. Many move to the area to enjoy its natural beauty.
