A much-loved Merseyside seaside resort has been ranked among the worst in the UK by The Telegraph.
Southport, famed for its expansive sandy beaches, Victorian shopping parade, fairground and bucket-loads of nostalgia, was given a pitiful rating of 28 out of 100 in the Telegraph's recent round-up of the 20 best and worst seaside towns in Britain.
The Merseyside hot spot, which is just a short ride from Liverpool's city centre, has a rich history. Its ever popular Lord Street - lined with high street favourites, independent stores, cafes, and more - is believed to be the inspiration behind the world famous tree-lined avenue of the Champs-Élysées in Paris.
