Marble Place Newsagents

When I revisited Southport after many years, it was as a Manchester resident, and I’ve got used to city prices. I’ve also got used to not seeing my favourite niche items in newsagents, such as fizzy sugar-​free Vimto and large bags of jelly babies for less than a pound or red rope liquorice fondant pencils.
Now, in Manchester you have to shop around for these things. Poundland or Poundstretcher for the sugar-​free fizzy Vimto, Tesco for the fondant pencils, Home Bargain for the cheap Maynards and so on and so on. This newsagent is crammed to bursting with retro stuff, pick n’ mix, the widest variety of soft drinks I’ve ever seen and tons more, including, obviously, printed news and magazines. I’m a huge fan of it and the shopkeepers are mighty friendly too. Definitely check it out if you’re shopping in Southport.
