Southport and the places nearby.
Southport is a Victorian seaside resort known for Lord Street's arcades, its long pier and championship golf at Royal Birkdale, with a large retired population and a steady visitor trade. Older customers mean phone contact remains important, and many judge a business by how clearly it presents its prices and credentials. Hospitality businesses need up-to-date seasonal information. For trades, naming districts like Birkdale and Ainsdale matters, because residents often think of themselves by village rather than as Southport as a whole.
The nearest towns in the same council area are Maghull (9 miles) and Crosby (12 miles). Across the boundary into the next council area, Lytham St Anne's (7 miles) and Ormskirk (7 miles) are also close. A longer drive takes in Kirkham (11 miles), Skelmersdale (12 miles), Blackpool (12 miles) and Leyland (13 miles). If you cover some of these and not others, the site should name the ones you do.
Birkdale, Ainsdale, Churchtown, Crossens, Hillside and Banks: if you work in particular parts of Southport, those names belong on the site.
Southport (postcode area PR) sits about 203 miles north of Exeter.
