A steam whistle echoes over Southport’s shifting sands and suddenly you’re somewhere between seaside charm and secrets that never made the guidebooks. Few realize how many rivalries, rebels, and disappearances once shaped these sunlit streets.

This self-guided audio tour turns every step into a discovery as you explore at your own pace. Hear tales hidden behind familiar facades and go beyond what most visitors ever glimpse.

Which railway feud left a permanent scar beneath Lakeside Miniature Railway’s cheerful tracks? What was smuggled through church walls at Holy Trinity during a midnight storm? Why do so many clocks stop when you reach the edge of Southport Pier?

Move through centuries of drama and surprise, following stories where elegant promenades give way to strange legends and lost ambitions. This journey changes the cityscape with every turn.

Ready to follow Southport’s unseen rails and walk where history still whispers? Begin now.
