Légende

The British Association at Southport, 1883. '1. The Beach and part of the Promenade. 2. The Cambridge Hall takes its name from her Royal Highness Princess Mary of Cambridge, now Duchess of Teck, who laid the foundation-stone; it is the fine stone building, with a clock tower 132 ft. high, and with an arcaded loggia...The Atkinson Free Library and Fine-Art Galleries... were opened in 1878...3. New Extension of the Convalescent Hospital...a beneficent institution...very deserving of public support'. 4. The next glory of Southport is Lord-street, which resembles a Paris Boulevard, combining an avenue of trees, and frequent small gardens, with shops, hotels, public edifices and private houses, with broad foot-pavements, and tramways. 5. the Botanic Gardens...are tastefully laid out, with a very pretty winding lake, crossed by an ornamental bridge, a splendid glass Conservatory...a delicious Fernery, and rockeries, fountains, plantations, and horticultural nurseries, not less attractive than interesting to the instructed botanist. 6. The Sand-hills, in their raw or unimproved state, remain still available for the delight of scrambling children, who seem as fond of sand as of grass...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1883.
