Lytham St Annes is a conurbation in the Fylde district of Lancashire, England. The neighbouring towns of Lytham and St. Annes-on-the-Sea have grown together and now form a seaside resort.
The towns are situated on the Fylde coast, south of Blackpool at the point where the coastline turns east to form the estuary of the River Ribble leading inland to Preston. St Annes is situated on the northern side of the turning and, like Blackpool, overlooks the Irish Sea, whereas Lytham is on the eastern side and overlooks the Ribble Estuary.
Lytham St Annes is internationally renowned for golf and has four courses and links, the most notable being the Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club, one of the host courses for the Open Championship, also known as the British Open, which has been a competition course since first hosting the Open in 1926. Approximately once every ten years, the coming of The Open—a major sporting event—brings a major influx of visitors, including the world's media, into a fairly peaceful community. Lytham St Annes is considered to be a wealthy area with residents' earnings among the highest in the North of England.
Some of Lytham's oldest buildings are located in Henry Street and Dicconson Terrace. Henry Street is the location of the Taps public house, a popular real ale establishment on the Fylde that has won numerous Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) awards. The Lytham Brewery is a microbrewery founded in 2007 and the owners operate a production facility on the outskirts of the town. Lytham is the location of the Foulnaze cockle fishery. The fishery has only opened the cockle beds on the Lancashire coast three times in twenty years and August 2013 was the last of these openings.
St Anne's-on-the-Sea (also known as St Annes-on-Sea or St Annes) was a 19th-century planned town, officially founded on 31 March 1875 when the cornerstone of the St Anne's Hotel was laid.St Annes is one of the few English towns whose centre was designed from the outset with a grid layout, albeit one which follows the curvature of the coast. Many principal streets are named after saints, such as St Annes Road West, the main shopping street, and St Annes Road East which is residential.
Ansdell is a small village between Lytham and St Annes, on the landward side of the railway line. It has its own railway station (shared with Fairhaven), the Ansdell Institute club and a public library. It is famous because of Richard Ansdell RA, an artist who lived in the area and painted numerous oils depicting hunting scenes. Fairhaven is the district between Lytham and St Annes on the coastal side of the railway line. It is named after Thomas Fair, an early resident of Lytham St Annes. Its main claim to fame is an artificial lake, known as Fairhaven Lake or more formally as the Ashton Marine Park, which is an important wildfowl habitat. Its other famous landmark is the Fairhaven United Reformed Church, which is of unusual design, being built in Byzantine style and faced with glazed white tiles, and commonly known as the White Church.
Lytham station, St Annes station and Ansdell & Fairhaven station all lie on the single track Blackpool South to Preston branch of the Blackpool Branch Lines. Prior to the closure of Blackpool Central in 1964 the Coast Road, as it was known, was the main line into Blackpool, although the Lytham St. Annes stations were bypassed by the direct line from Kirkham to Blackpool South.

Denton is a town in the Metropolitan Borough of Tameside, Greater Manchester, England, five miles east of Manchester city centre. Historically part of Lancashire, it had a population of 36,591 at the 2011 Census. Denton probably derives its name from Dane-town, an etymology supported by other place names in the area such as Danehead-bank and Daneditch-bourne. The word 'Dane' is itself derived from Anglo-Saxon denu, dene, daenland, meaning a valley. So literally Denton means valley town.
There is one main war memorial, or cenotaph, in Denton, located in Victoria Park. This memorial commemorates people from Denton and Haughton who served in two world wars. The names on the war memorial were collected from their relatives who wrote to the council with details of their loved ones who served in either war. The war memorial was unveiled on 23 July 1921. Figures from the Denton section of the Tameside council website, state that 3,500 Denton men served in the Great War (1914–1918), of that number, 369 people were killed.
The oldest church in Denton is St. Lawrence's. It is almost 500 years old, originally built in 1531. It is a listed Grade II* building. The church is also known locally as Th'owd Peg (the old peg) due to the fact, as a timber-framed building, it was constructed with wooden pegs rather than nails. It is more commonly known as the black and white church, because of its appearance. A local myth is also said to have a pirate buried within its grounds because of a grave stone marked with a skull and crossbones at its front door. In a more thorough investigation and article printed by Denton Local History Society (1995), it was found that the gravestone was actually a masonic gravestone belonging to a deceased Soldier named Samuel Bromley from the Royal Artillery. The magnificent Victorian St Anne's Church, Haughton, is a Grade I listed building, and is built in the Gothic Revival style.
One of Denton's claims to fame is that, along with Reddish South, it has the UK's least frequent train service, every Friday, in one direction, from Stockport to Stalybridge. There are bus links to Manchester city centre, Hyde, Ashton-under-Lyne and Stockport operated by Stagecoach. The M67 Denton Relief Road motorway was constructed, running east to west through Denton, between 1978 and 1981. Originally this was planned to be part of a motorway running from central Manchester to Sheffield. At its western end the M67 connects with the M60 Manchester Ring Road.

Kevin Duffy Rectory Nurseries Part 1
Kevin Duffy self taught or outsider Artist, lives in Ashton in Makerfield Wigan.
He bought a house next to an allotment field and began clearing the land,which took six years. During this time he began selling plants to passers by and slowley his reputation grew. Almost by accident he transformed the allotment into a business. He eventually sold the house and built a bungalow on the site where he now lives and manages the business with his son Carl.
The garden is a very special place, it is completely unexpected, despite being so close to the road it remains an unknown treasure. The garden did feature on the BBC northwest tonight programme in October 2006, where it was compared
to Portmeirion in Wales. Kevin is rightfully proud of his work and intends to continue developing and expanding it. The work is a life lond passion for Kevin, and he gets much pleasure from seeing people enjoying the space. A visit is highly recommended, there is nothing quite like it.

Trainspotting at Newcastle (Central), ECML - 26/5/18 [TSE S5E14 - Series Finale]
Hi all and welcome to another video from TrainSpotEast where I am at Newcastle, where we see services from VTEC (the last appearance ever), CrossCountry, Northern and TransPennine Express.
Look out for:
- 91101 Flying Scotsman
- 91114 Durham Cathedral
- 43274 Spirit of Sunderland
- Scotrail 156 unit stabled
- CrossCountry Deformed 221, 221144
- Network Rail New Measurement Train/Flying Banana
Newcastle is a fantastic station, this has stunning architecture with a canopy, the views either way are fantastic, especially the south where it heads towards the bridge, the vantage points are brilliant with fantastic traction and frequency despite a few delays. Just one freight and a special was helpful to make this station more enjoyable. I will return there with normal services resumed from CrossCountry that start or leave here towards Reading/Southampton. Highly recommended to all.
A massive thanks to Virgin Trains East Coast for the work you have done over the three years, brilliant trains, helpful staff and even some great drivers, let's hope LNER can do better when I return to that area next time.
