Comments on map:
'Issued with the '''Southport Centenary Souvenir,'' by the Proprietor, W. Woffenden...' Everything is shown by reference to the squaring, but is not labelled on the map. Reduced list of hotels, also shopping arcade, banks, art gallery, public halls, political clubs, town hall, library, market, toy market, museum, opera house, winter gardens, YMCA, and some hospitals, etc, but no places of worship: very odd.
