Each year, Canadian Geese arrive in Southport, to remind us that Autumn has arrived. Every morning, they fly in formation over the houses and businesses of the town, heading out to the marshes for a days feeding, then every evening, back they go inland, to the warmth and protection of the inland fields. Thousands and thousands of Geese, flying in their distinctive ‘V’, helping each other along the way, honking out encouragement to the weakest. A remarkable site!
Welcome back!

Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte lived in exile on Lord Street, the main thoroughfare of Southport, between 1846 and 1848, before returning to France, where he became President and subsequently Emperor of the French. During his reign, he caused much of the medieval centre of Paris to be replaced with broad tree-lined boulevards, covered walkways and arcades, just like Lord Street. On the strength of this coincidence, it has been suggested that the redevelopment may have been inspired by memories of Southport’s town centre.
