Interesting piece of History on ebay.

Anyone heard of this before?

I have a book that southport visiter put out in 1909 pictures of old southport it has this pic in it in black and white

Yes I too have seen that pic previously.

I know that my Mother and her siblings often went skating on the Marine Lake.

[Hamble]

Was the skating on Peters Slack behind the 'Woodlands' large garden area on the map or behind the 'Woodlands' former school building?
