    Red and cream

    Does anybody know when Southport council started painting the lamp posts red and cream. Looking back at old pictures it doesn't seem to have really happened until the 50's.

    Was that when Southport council was formed & it was decided to paint cream & white, council colours?
    It has been said that when helping people change their behaviour – “the spirit in which help is offered” is the most important aspect, more than the degree of skills and knowledge of the helper!

    No because Southport Borough Council was incorporated in 1866.

    According to Sefton Focus..."* Southport’s famous red and cream livery was introduced in 1919. I recall the fuss when sadly the buses lost that livery in the 1980’s."
