Duke's is the central ward of Southport in the Metropolitan Borough of Sefton, England, covering much of the town centre and the seafront. Its geography is defined by promenades, the pier and a Victorian streetscape that still shapes the feel of the area.
Locally the economy leans on tourism, hospitality and retail, with independent shops and arcades along Lord Street and cultural venues such as The Atkinson. The ward reflects Southport’s seaside resort heritage - busy with visitors and seasonal events like the Southport Flower Show in summer, while retaining a substantial community of long-term residents and retirees.
