I thought it might be St Anne's, with the Hotel Majestic in the background? Still looking for a photo to support that theory.

Possibly ...

I also thought that and saw that photo, Frank. Went onto Google to get a street view but couldn't get the right angle.  I thought Southport was too flat.

added - had another go - I think the angle would be below the roads so Google cars wouldn't be able to go there  :-\

I only recognised it because I have some very similar 'walking pictures' of my own from St Anne's  ;)
