Southport Civic Society

About us

Southport Civic Society is over fifty years old. We are passionate about our town, its architecture and its character.

Our aim is to protect our heritage and to promote new initiatives and developments to help shape our future. We are a small independent group of people from all walks of life who campaign for local causes, speak out in the media, follow Planning issues and provide a 'civic voice' for local people.

Town Trail

We have designed a walking guide to promote an awareness of the architectural and historical development of Southport. The trail focuses on the Lord Street Conservation area and the atmosphere and rich variety of building styles which make up its unique character.

Trails are available from The Atkinson Library/ Tourist Office or direct from our Union Street address, as contact details below.
