Portland Wine Cellars

118 Portland Street
Southport
PR8 6QZ  Click for Map

David and Christine Smith purchased Portland Wine Cellars in Southport during 1985, but their property has a history much longer than that.

The above picture was taken in 1907 showing four shops instead of the one of today. On the corner is Doward Bros and to the right a sweet shop.  Two other shops were to the left of the picture. The building has always been an off-licence, and the first licence was issued in February 1913, previously to that a licence was not needed. The building is believed to be over 100 years old but an exact date has not yet been established due to an untimely smudge on the deeds.

To the right of Portland Wine Cellars, and also now owned by David and Chris Smith, is what used to be a garage.

This picture was taken in 1928 and shows a 1928 Bullnose Morris car at the front.

The garage was started by Allinsons in 1919, and prior to this was stables for Doward Bros. 

This property is now a food establishment.
