Crossens Wives in Southport on 14 March 1984

Today we’re going back to the 1980s in Southport! 

There are lots of faces in these old black and white pictures – we’d love to know if you recognise anyone? 

Or do these images bring back memories of life back then? We can’t believe it was nearly 40 years ago! 

Do you remember nights out at Royale’s in Southport, do you remember shows or events at the old Southport Arts Centre? 

Were you a member of the Boys Brigade or the Venture Scouts in Southport? 

Were you one of the Crossens Wives, did you slim down with Weight Watchers, did you attend Kew prep School? 

 

There are some superb 80s hairstyles on show at this hair fashion show at Royale’s in Southport in 1981! Do you recognise anyone in the picture? Do you remember Royale’s? 

We also have pictures from the The St Paul’s 6th Boys Brigade Awards Night in Southport on 20 November 1981 and the Venture Scouts at St Cuthbert’s Church in Churchtown in Southport on 20 November 1981. 

This picture of pupils at Kew Prep School in Southport on 29 September 1981 is one to cherish for parents at the time! Do you remember those days? 

People were very busy in Southport in the 1980s. Here we show an image of The Atkinson Pottery Exhibition in Southport on 28 November 1981, while members of Southport Sailing Club enjoyed a Civic Reception in Southport on 28 November 1981. 

Crossens Wives are pictured in Southport on 14 March 1984 – were you a member? 

Weight Watchers were looking for new people to join them on the scales at Southport Arts Centre on 26 March 1984. 

Southport Music Festival is an event which goes back many generations. This picture shows competitors with Mayor of Sefton Cllr Jenny Kemp on 27 March 1984.
