Fleetwood and Thornton Cleveleys are well known for their proximity to
the coast. Developed during the Victorian era, Fleetwood retains a lot
of this style, with remnants of its once vibrant life as a deep-sea
fishing port. As a popular resort, today it acts as a quiet contrast to
busier nearby towns, and is home to the Mount, a 7-acre park offering
views across Morcambe Bay. Thornton Cleveleys, like Fleetwood, is also a
prominent seaside town. The wonderful promenade, the Jubilee Gardens and
the relaxing boating lake are just a few of the attractions this
picturesque area has to offer, aside from the peaceful estuary and the
historic Marsh Mill. Lancashire enthusiast Peter Byrom delves into the
history of these areas, through a collection of remarkable old and new
photographs.
