Sefton is one of the most diverse boroughs in the land. It encompasses two former boroughs: industrial seaport Bootle at one end and at the other the genteel seaside resort of Southport. In between stretches beautiful coastline, home to six links courses including championship Birkdale. The rural hinterland is the setting for grand country houses and for the tiny village of Sefton that gives its name to the borough. Sefton The Postcard Collection takes the reader on an evocative journey into Sefton's past through a selection of old postcards which offer a fascinating window into the history of the Merseyside Metropolitan borough.
