Fleetwood's 175th Anniversary
Fleetwood's 175th Anniversary took place in 2011 and the two new exhibitions developed for this anniversary have been very popular and they will continue to be on show throughout 2012.
'The Story of Fleetwood' & ' A Photographic Celebration of Fleetwood's 175 Years'.
Both exhibitions are concerned with Fleetwood's unique and fascinating history as Lancashire's first planned Victorian seaside town and its subsequent development throughout the two last centuries. An amazing collection of images and objects, all related to fleetwood but with varied subject headings, such as entertainment, recreation, shops, business, sport, streets, buildings, railway, fishing, docks and more...
A fascinating insight in to a town to which Sir Peter Hesketh Fleetwood gave both his name and his fortune.
People are amazed about who they know in the photographs and many have enjoyed reminiscing about long forgotten facets of their lives. Don't miss it ....
