Beautiful! ❤just back from a 13 mile stroll that took in Mawdesley and ended up in Burscough via Rufford. Canal somewhat overgrown. Got drenched. Loved every step of 16 miles ❤

It’s a great seaside town. I live around 10 miles away, we regularly take the dogs for Sunday walks on the beach. Some nice hidden restaurants and shops around lord street. They have had some great food festivals held in the nearby park too. Some of it is a bit old and in need of attention though. But I love that old British seaside town atmosphere. From the beach you can see Blackpool juts down the road, both great northern seaside towns. A bit gritty so not for everyone, but I love it.

Born and bred 1974. Was out today walking around the front in the sun. Litter all over. Pier closed down.Filth everywhere. Fairground decrepit Walked down Lord Street canopies flaking away. More shops empty row after row. So walked down to hesketh Park. Drunks ranting at passers by in the park. 8 police officers arresting someone by the children's cafe. It's so sad. My hometown is an utter mess.

Lovely set of clips of my home area brings back memories for an Ormskirk lad and the trips to Preston, Liverpool and Southport by steam train. Between 1962 and 1964 the 7pm was a spotters must as it was often a duchess or a princess with just 4 coaches from a split train in Preston.
@fisherpeter695 5 ай бұрын
Spent a lot of time in Ormskirk through work in the 1970s and early 80s. Lovely quaint town with historic character. Ironically like neighbouring Liverpool opted to pedestrianize their main shopping areas for peoples comfort, and years later shops are vacant, footfall is lost and fewer people are around. Liverpool Church Street once its main thoroughfare looks sad, when I visited Ormskirk a few years ago the clip at 21.00 showed some units empty and a bit run down. That image with the outdoor market shows progress often shows little improvement

@user-jz5ye1iu3k 2 ай бұрын
It is happening in all towns, its called progress mainly because of internet shopping taking over!! Go take another look at how Southport (once again) is rising from the ashes - it is too special a town to go under completely!

@@iancasey704 Guess you are concentrating The town centre itself? I am looking at the towns new developments/ideas ie Investment into Pleasureland, Kings Gardens re-developed, Development of New Theatre site, Debenhams where work has begun, Lord St huge another huge development, told it was a new idea, workmen in there already, possibly the wall climbing thingy? Grand Theatre re-developed. Plans afoot for the pier (hopefully we can retain same). Southport is definitely not what it was with its blooming flower beds/borders etc, if not for volunteers we would have alot less of these. Of course these were preferable to the shabby bedsits we have now, homeless on the streets etc etc, however I will not diss a town who despite everything is still riding high in many ways!

Lived in 14 fletchers Drive from birth in 1980 to 89, and then around the Rees Park area from 1998 to 2001. Getting sentimental watching the video. My Dad Len (Lenny) lived in Burscough on Hesketh Road until his death in 2019. So many memories and both good and bad. Great to see the really old photos. Enjoyed it very much.

Lived in Burscough from 1973 to 1979, was taken with the phone no. we were Burscough 3075 which had previously been the fish and chip shop. Looking at all the veg and sacks of potatoes, we lived cheaply up there always able to get plenty of produce at farm gates. On a train up from Euston with a ticket to Ormskirk, the guard checking the ticket exclaimed loudly, 'Ormskirk, that's were the cabbages come from'. Presumably he had bought packets of Clucas seeds for his allotment?

Fantastic find. Sad to see how things have changed. I think it's at least 1976 because I spotted two Mk1 Ford Fiestas, there's a white one on the prom as the bus pulls away. Doesn't detract from the value of the film though, excellent stuff. .

Myself and my hubby had our honeymoon in Southport and had a 2 night break In the scarsbrick hotel, we had a lovely time and made the most of our honeymoon but we was very disappointed in our room but we went out and had lovely meals in some nice restaurants and we even went to the pleasureland just for a walk out but I’ve always found Southport a quiet seaside town
