These old signs are wonderful. A good way of seeing where places were and what they were

What kind of hospital was it? Isolation seems to be going through my mind but the building looks horrible More like a warehouse

A sign, long since gone, near the Scarisbrick Hotel, Lord Street.

This was the site of Southport Infirmary. after it moved after outgrowing its Lord street site, it then went on to outgrow its Virginia Street site and then moved to Pilkington Road. The rest is history, as they say.

I think I'm right.

Here is advert for a Plumbers on Hartwood Road.

Here is an old mosaic sign set in to the floor of a shop on Manchester Road. I don't know what profession / business, James Willman had but the sign will have been expensive and time consuming to create.

Willmans was a bread bakery/shop. The Bakery was over in Zetland st where General Traffic motor factors is now.

Hi Beldray,
Thanks for the information regarding the Bakery. Here are some signs in Birkdale. First up are the remains of sign on a converted shop on Upper Aughton Road.

Here is a sign on the side of a Wedding shop in Birkdale Village, Liverpool Road.

Brilliant.

I must learn to look up more!

Thanks for posting these.

Here some photographs of old signage relating to Hightons on Lord Street.

Excellent The Dark Horse....

Hey 'Horse, you're REALLY doing something great with this thread. You've got your own liitle archaeologist dig going here. Very cool. Congratulations

Mr Dark Horse, since I now live in Bournemouth, seeing your pics brings back many happy memories for me.

Please may I ask a favour, are there any remains pertaining to the old chocolate shop and cafe known as Matti and Tissots that was in Lord Street?
thanks

T. Seymour Mead name tiles (white on green) were recently exposed underneath the windows of Hillside Kitchens on the corner of Liverpool and Arundel roads.

Unfortunately they were covered up again with plywood today, just before I got there with my camera.
