Don't know if anyone is aware, but I live in Southport, Merseyside and under Nevill Street which is just around the corner from me, there is another row of shops.
It appears that around 1903, the Nevill Street was raised to meet the promenade, maybe because of increased traffic, so there is a world of smashed shop fronts boarded up and then buried beneath the pavements. There are rumours of lost entrances to old Nevill Street, but none of them can be found today and it is said they can only been seen through stories in the towns archives.
However, I think this is fascinating stuff and would love to see what it all looks like - would be amazing!
