To be honest, I'm leaning towards Southport. Mainly because I like the seaside (regardless of weather) and it's easy and relatively cheap to travel into both Liverpool and Manchester. Going into Manchester is something which I really want to do as there's a Collectors Fair happening at the Museum of Transport. I would consider staying in Manchester but I was only there at the back-end of January and it seems like a waste to stay there again.
However, Sheffield does have Park Hill which is something I'd love to see as I'm a fan of Brutalist architecture. I'm also aware that it's relatively easy to travel into Manchester (I haven't checked prices yet so I don't know how cheap it is), but there is something unappealing about bus-trips around Rotherham, Barnsley and Doncaster - this is what is putting me off.
