Visited Union Street in Southport lately?
Union Street Traders urge you to visit this great street this Summer. Located in the fastest growing area of town known as The Northern Quarter. Situated in between Lord Street and Hoghton Street there are so many hidden gems that really are worth a visit. It is a quaint up-market street that has benefited from the lovely flower displays provided by the Southport Bid.
