The days when Southport had a sandy beach that people could use for sailing and swimming, before the tree-hugging bird watchers decided it would be better if it was a swamp.
Interesting. I remember driving home along the seafront near the fair...after a night shift...and watching the council clearing up all the debris from the sewage outlet. Catheter bags, condoms, sanitary towels...etc. So glad we’ve moved on in that direction.
I have the Topaz suite of software incl the Video Enhance AI module. If you would like I could try to do a cleanup on the footage and upscale it. Let me know if you are interested. Ainsdale based.
