Thanks for the photo tour, Sundae. I always enjoy your great picture threads.
Harrogate seems to be a similar place to Southport if somewhat grander.
That sentence alone is probably enough to have me declared
persona non grata in that small corner of Merseyside that is forever Lancashire.
I believe that Southport was the home of wealthy industrialists, merchants and shipping owners who made their money in Liverpool.
Just guesswork, but in the case of Harrogate I suspect that mill owner wealth was behind the development of the town.
It certainly looks a prosperous place but, as we all know, where there's muck there's brass.
