Run away!…..

The Scarisbrick was the posh hotel once…mind you that was 50 years ago!

21:35 Come on lads. Got to move the fossils. Put your backs into it!

Bedank, tot ziens, nou hoe dan ook, alle, niet allemall lopen, goededag. (Thank you, good bye, well anyway, not all walking, good day) Could come in handy Andrew

Eggs straight from the the chicken coop. The Dutch may be flat, and small, but they know how to live, sometimes.

I love Southport ,there's nothing wrong with the place , yes there are some shut premises but its still clean and well maintained,

Looks to be a lovely area, but I wouldn’t be happy with the house arrangements either.

What happened to Bolton was " Greater Manchester " a pitiful days work from which this proud town never recovered. Biggest town outside the cities ( Jessica Lofthouse in her Lancashire books 1971) now a pitiful huge shadow and parody of its former self. Local paper prints a " Looking Back" section every Weds. The comparisons bring a tear to your eyes. Awful.

Where's the Mapa Mundi????

try ainsdale its really come up and I also work there😁

Kew Woods was a land fill site until the late 80's. It was re developed in the early 2000's.

Me and my fiancé stayed there because we got an upgrade to the Peaky Blinders hotel. It was my birthday and walked to the Hesketh arms for my birthday meal. And to top off the perfect night, it started to snow. Always loved Churchtown since I was little

Amazing. Have you thought of visiting Chichester? Wonderful Cathedral and also Roman walls. there is also a museum, which is free to enter with some great mosaics.

All the retail relocated on the Robin Park Shopping Centre. The actual town centre is depressing. King Street had all the night clubs that was decades ago. There was policing at one time and then stopped funding. I remember the area became notorious for sometime and then died off. This could be a generational thing, or the licensing became governed by the council and not the police that use to grant the licence. Therefore, there is a lot in that to do with saturation and venue types. Wigan is my birthplace but I've lived in various parts of the country. There are other places looking worse and it's fair to say the presant state of the country (social economics). However, the heritage and Haigh Hall I'm not really interested with that. Infact it would be better flattered and modernised. That's my opinion and really it's all appealing to one sector and its inverted... young people will not want to live here. There is nothing really for them.

Lovely

Andrew. Why didn't you do Cambridge Walks?

Quite a lot of incorrect information here. The road you're driving down within the first few minutes was originally "Long Lane", the ORIGINAL route to South Hawes/Southport from Scarisbrick Bridge. The Kew gardens station was on a totally different line, long gone. No part of Meols Cop Park (it is Blowick, not Kew) formed any part of Kew Gardens. Kew Gardens was accessed from The Alexandra Hotel, now the site of The Richmond Pub. The site closed in the early 1930s. Canal??? That is Fine Janes Brook!!! 🤨

The best full English brekkies in Southport are the steak breakfast at Lords cafe bar on Lord st or the full monty at the whistle stop cafe round the back of the train station 👍

Don’t know if my previous message was through to you Andrew, but really love your Southport videos My message didn’t seem to register I went to KGV sixth form as a girl , when the old boys school was still there crumbling on Scarisbrick rd. I remember the Sands Pub at Ainsdale being open, and Toad Hall by the dunes in Ainsdale which a few years ago an artist painted with lizards or natterjack toads. Apparently according to one of my elderly neighbours about 25 years ago - related to me that Bedford Park when she was a girl was sand dunes She would have been born around 1900

Love your videos on Southport I have lived here many years and you have taught me things I didn’t know Thank you

lets hope its not brittainia hotel xx

britannia hotel ruined southport xx

why have you made no more recordings?

Pretty quaint. Looked like a fun place to visit.

I was born in Wigan, as were two of my siblings and my parents. My father started work down the pit at 14, and my mother worked in a bakery from the same age. We left there in January 1967 when I was just 4 years old, so my memories of the place are a bit sketchy. Thanks for the tour!!

I remember there being a' zoo' somewhere near King's gardens. Only went there once and the only animal there was a small dog. It was a Shitzu ...

i was treated to a birthday meal there, not impressed with the meal at all, then i had a £60 fine for using their car park, not well sign posted, no information or help at reception as to registering your car on arrival or terms of stay. it is the worst experience i have had when treated to a meal. you could not drag me to this place with a team of wild horses.

I'm sure it's a pommie paradise but it looks soulless. There are so many beautiful places in Spain but Benidorm looks uninspiring.

Very nice!! I only discovered your channel two days ago and I am hooked! I should add that I am a woman using my husband's KZbin account, which is why my comments are so girly.

why cant the council manage to level up its massive debt problems ?

I have never stayed there, but went to a wedding reception that was good. The food was fabulous! However, the Bride's father was still paying of the loan he took out to pay for it when she left her husband and divorced him...

Did that used to be called the Ramada hotel?

Really nice!!

Really nice!! Beats the heck out of those hotels in Southport !!

My sister got married in that hotel, also had her wedding reception there. The food was revolting and there was some sort of cheerleading competition going on, although they had not informed her that it would coincide with her wedding. There kids running all over and empty beer cans rolling around in the corridors. My mother's engagement ring was stolen from her room, as well. What a dump!!

That restaurant is new to me, having left Southport in 2015. Seeing the Scarisbrick again was interesting. In the 1980s, The Barons bar was THE place to be for young folks.

A nostalgic trip for me, I lived in Southport for 30 years and often visited the Botanic gardens. a shame about the museum, there was a time capsule in there, and a magnificent collection of elephant ornaments. I wonder what happened to them...

Born and bred in Wigan I remember back in 98 on wards when I got out the taxi at the top and looked down you couldn’t see the street it was that busy no joke the night life was amazing I came back home at Christmas for the first time in 7 yrs and I was disgusted it was absolutely dead on a Friday night those good old days are well and truly gone if your reading this who remembers the coach that used to take you kudos aswell what a place

13:25 Hacksaw Ridge is the Battle of Okinowa. The film is about a soldier who wants to be a pacifist stretcher bearer. You're thinking of Heartbreak Ridge, which was a short war, over the tiny island of Grenada.

That building is old hospital from the war times, my grand parents worked there

So in total with the breakfast how much was it??x

Enjoyed your video until the jazz came on.....🙈

Lovely Franks Hanson insight Andrew, you shouldn’t blaspheme, it spoils!

I’m guessing mid week you paid under £50 for your stay so I’m very unsure why you are moaning? Long corridors are a sign of an old Victorian hotel!

Visited like 4 years ago , got my attention, i saw a lot of old English men and their thai wives ….

If you believe in history, I suppose you might call it the beginning of English power, in the world. Nice shots of the cathedral.

Well that helps I won't buy from him I am proud to be American

Imagine the pier built up Amsterdam /Venice (haha) style, with cafe's and bars and local stuff.

Labour Council for last hundred years, can’t blame Tories.

Brittania is a parasitic hotel chain. They only survive by housing imported deviants and when the imported deviants trash their rooms which they do 100% of the time, the taxpayer funds the refurb. Rinse and repeat
