There are many fine shops in Southport, whether it’s in the town centre, in Birkdale, Ainsdale, Churchtown, High Park, Crossens or elsewhere.
Stand Up For Southport member Lindsay Dudley said: “I hope my favourite shop in the whole world survives this pandemic – Broadhurst’s book shop on Market Street.
“Once it is truly safe and we are allowed to, this will be the first place I will go and loiter.
“I cannot wait to find a new book to add to my collection.

“After deliberating and bringing in the expertise of the knowledgeable booksellers, I would then take my new purchase, wrapped in brown paper and string, to one of the unique cafés on Lord Street, where I will order a cappuccino and some lemon drizzle cake.
“I will then sit with my new book by my side and watch the hustle and bustle go by.”
