Text description beneath the picture (subject to any spelling errors due to the OCR program used)

MARINE PARK, SOUTHPORT.
Southport is a comparatively modern town, though it now has a population of 50,000. Its pier runs for nearly a mile out to sea; its principal thoroughfare of Lord Street is over a mile and a quarter long, planted with trees and traversed by a tram line; and it is unusually well supplied with gardens and pleasure-grounds, the Marine Park and lake covering thirty acres. The Victoria Baths are near the pier; the Botanic Gardens at Churchtown, and the suburb of Birkdale at the other end of the long sea-front. There is here an unusually wide shore of shining sand, and the place has a high repute for invalids for whose benefit several large hydropathic establishments have been erected.
