- Southport Promotional Film, c1956.
I have recently bought this old film reel (along with the copyright) and had it digitised. As this original film reel is now approx 60 years old, the film as you will see has reddened over time, although it is still a wonderful look back into Southport's past.
To help offset the cost of this process, if anybody would like to buy a copy, please contact me through the website / facebook groups listed below.
If you have any old cine films / audio tapes / video tapes / old photographs relating to Burscough / Ormskirk or the surrounding areas (including HMS Ringtail), please contact me as I would love to be able to add more to the 'Images of Burscough' archive, for future generations.

Memories are made of this. 👍 What a cracking film. Thanks for making it. Stay safe.
Great video of Southport, thanks for uploading! :-)
Even the weather seemed better then
The town seemed virtually unchanged in my childhood a decade later in the sixties and, perhaps, that was a part of the problem; that Southport failed to move with changes in taste and expectations. Although far from unique among seaside resorts struggling from the sixties onwards, Southport seems to have suffered more than many in part because the local government reorganisation of the seventies lead to the loss of County Borough status and a merger into a Metropolitan Borough centred around, and seemingly only interested in, the declining industrial area of Bootle.
Heaven. WTF happened ?
