Ainsdale once lived in the shadow of surrounding villages and town centres, sandwiched between Birkdale and Formby.
Now, the village that is dominated by one main road, is a bustling and booming seaside resort, one that rivals the likes of Formby, Birkdale and Southport. The once quiet and subdued haven has turned into a vibrant hospitality hotspot, as a number of bars and restaurants have put their mark on the village that used to be somewhere that people would simply travel through on their way to somewhere else.
Speaking to a number of businesses, the village that would once rely on people flocking to the beach to prop up business now has its own community, a community that floods the village come summer or winter. The Northern Line that connects Southport to the centre of Liverpool and down to Hunts Cross runs through Station Road, the road where the majority of bars and restaurants sit, is the backbone that keeps the village thriving.
