More about this scene
Standing on the site of what were once three fishermen's cottages, the Hesketh Arms was originally called the Black Bull. William 'Duke' Sutton was landlord of the Black Bull when he opened his bathing hut at South Hawes near what is now the junction of Duke Street and Lord Street. He later built the original hotel near the site, suffering it to be known as 'Duke's Folly'. South Hawes later became known as South Port, which eventually became Southport.
