The town was founded in 1792 when an innkeeper named William Sutton built a bathing house on the beach and a settlement grew up as a fashionable watering place for the rich and famous. Southport is today one of the most popular seaside resorts in the UK.

In 1904 the first electric trains in Britain began running between Southport and Liverpool.

The 1,000 metre long Pier is the second longest in the country and boasts a tram to the pavilion where there is an exhibition on Southport history.
