Lord Street is Southport is renowned for its varied architecture and iron verandahs. Although the shops themselves may have changed, many of the buildings were relatively new when Mrs Dowson was shopping in the late Victorian and early Edwardian period.

Mrs Dowson left a huge collection of receipts which are now in the Local History Collection at Crosby Library. This walk uses a selection from central Lord Street to explore her shopping habits, the shops she patronised and the buildings they were housed in.
