Fleetwood is a town and civil parish within the Wyre district of Lancashire, England, lying at the northwest corner of the Fylde. The site of the town has been continuously inhabited since the Middle Ages. Fleetwood acquired its modern character in the 1830s, when the principal landowner Peter Hesketh-Fleetwood, High Sheriff and MP, conceived an ambitious plan to re-develop the town to make it a busy seaport and railway spur. He commissioned the distinguished Victorian architect Decimus Burton to design a number of substantial civic buildings, including two lighthouses. Hesketh-Fleetwood's transport terminus schemes failed to materialise.
Decline of the fishing industry began in the 1960s, hastened by the Cod Wars with Iceland, though fish processing is still a major economic activity in Fleetwood. The town's most notable employer today is Lofthouse of Fleetwood, manufacturer of the lozenge Fisherman's Friend which is exported around the world.
Fleetwood is located on the Fylde Peninsula, 8 miles (13 km) north of Blackpool, on the western side of the mouth of the River Wyre. The town itself is on a peninsula, almost 2 miles (3 km) wide, bounded to the west by the Irish Sea, to the north by Morecambe Bay and to the east by the River Wyre. Access to Fleetwood is thus restricted, and for many years there were only two roads into and out of the town. A large sandbank, the North Wharf, extends some 2 1⁄4 miles (3.6 km) north into Morecambe Bay, and is exposed at low tide.
Fleetwood's economy still revolves around the traditional areas of fishing, tourism, port activity and light industry, but since the early 1970s the town has continued to struggle economically. A government report in 2006 stated that three of the town's five wards fall into the 5% to 10% most deprived wards in England. The town's largest and most prominent single employer is Lofthouse's of Fleetwood Ltd., manufacturers of Fisherman's Friend—a menthol lozenge popular worldwide and especially in Japan.
The Mount and the entire length of Fleetwood Promenade has an uninterrupted view across Morecambe Bay, a view described by author Bill Bryson in Chapter 23 of his book Notes From a Small Island as easily one of the most beautiful in the world, with unforgettable views across to the green and blue Lakeland hills: Scafell, Coniston Old Man, the Langdale Pikes. Directly across the Esplanade from the Mount lies the Marine Hall and Marine Gardens, Wyre Borough's largest entertainment venue, opened in 1935.
The 13 hectares of Fleetwood Memorial Park was developed out of the earlier Warrenhurst Park, itself an early-C20 park designed by Thomas Lumb of Blackpool. In 1917 the park was renamed Memorial Park in memory of those who died in the First World War. The memorial statue was added a few years later and memorial trees planted by the children who lost relatives. Fleetwood Pier, also known as 'Victoria Pier', was a feature of the town from its construction in 1910 until it was destroyed by fire in September 2008.

Contraband Fleetwood marine hall
Captain Carl flight over Marine Hall Fleetwood. Bit windy but good views.
Flight sponsored by
Took off from the promenade behind the swimming baths and went for some views over Fleetwood.
Apologies for the shaky filming. I think the high winds combined with the mid-flight loss of some padding on the camera left it flapping a bit expecially when diving back low.
Some nice high views of Fleetwood though.
ROSSALL BEACH TO MARINE HALL CYCLE RIDE
ROSSALL BEACH - ROSSALL POINT - MARINE HALL
CYCLE RIDE
Sunday 31st August 2014
This cycle ride runs between Cleveleys and Fleetwood, on the northwest coast of England U.K. Cyclists battle against the ever present changeable wind. Often, with gale force, it keeps the ardent cyclist strong.
This evening is probably the last time, until 2017, that cyclists may use this route. Sea front renovation work,Rossall Coastal Defence Scheme, means that closures will take place from tomorrow.
So until 2017:- HAPPY CYCLING MEMORIES

Fleetwood Voice Trailer
Earlier this year, Regenda Homes partnered with the charity Music in Mind and commissioned a unique composition based on the melodies and rhythms from the speech of Fleetwood people.
Followed by the BBC for its Inside Out programme, the year-long project, titled Fleetwood Voice, culminated in a sold-out performance at the town’s Marine Hall by musicians from The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra.
The Fleetwood Voice project was part of Regenda Homes’ 10 Year Vision for Fleetwood which is a multi-million-pound investment into the town. The Vision is a people and place-based regeneration project that goes beyond the typical bricks and mortar investment associated with the housing sector.
