SD3317 : Southport revisited - The Monument
taken 4 years ago, near to Southport, Sefton, England
My teenage years from 1949 to 1955 were spent in Southport and this is where my interests and attitudes were formed. And for the following six years, Southport was still my base. My parents continued to live in Southport for the rest of their lives, so I paid an annual visit to the town, and from 1997 when I moved back north my visits were much more frequent. But since my parents died in 2004, I have had little reason to visit.
I made no photographic record of Southport in the early years, but have plenty of memories. In 2021 I returned for a day and recorded my visit on Geograph. It has given me the opportunity and motivation to comment on the many changes since I first lived in Southport 72 years ago.
