Lord Street

Lord Street

Lord Street is the main shopping street in the English town of Southport.

It is one of the great shopping streets of Northern England along with Grey Street in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Lord Street is even claimed to be the inspiration behind the tree-lined boulevards of Paris.Verify source|date=July 2007

Napoleon III briefly lived on Lord Street,Fact|date=February 2007 the main thoroughfare of Southport, before becoming Emperor of the French in 1851. During his reign, he caused much of the medieval centre of Paris to be replaced with broad tree lined boulevards, covered walkways and arcades, just like Lord Street. On the strength of this coincidence, it has been suggested that the redevelopment may have been inspired by memories of Southport's town centre.
