Restoring Southport’s Victorian seaside heritage for the future

Welcome to Southport’s Townscape Heritage and the project that aims to revive this historic seaside resort by restoring buildings and revealing their past. Our focus is on the town centre between Lord Street and the Promenade – its buildings and the people past and present who’ve used them.  Dive in and discover what we’re up to and what’s in it for you.
