    So sad to see those beautiful buildings in such a bad state of repair. Memories of Fleetwood was a fantastic Bakers who made stunning meat pies and Fleetwood was always a half-day trip when in Blaxckpool

    I never went in to town much when I lived there, but I do remember the lighthouses.
    I was told that when the ships were sailing towards Fleetwood, when the 2 lighthouses lined up, the captains knew they were in the right channel to enter the River Wyre.

    Another super video about Fleetwood. Thinking about the demolished building you featured, I think it was a medical building like a medical practice. I could be wrong, and I welcome comments to correct me. You also passed my favourite chippy in Fleetwood, The Granada fish bar on Victoria Street. You want to try their chips Stephen, highly recommended! Really enjoyed this video, looking forward to Part 3! Thanks Stephen. :)

    The two clock towers and the lighthouse are impressive Stephen. A pity that there are sop many empty shops these days. I suppose with the decline of the fishing industry, and the regular sailings to the Isle of Man, combined with the loss of the railway station as well, it made quite an impact on the town. Many thanks for this production.

    Another great video Stephen, lots of narrow little streets in Fleetwood. I bought a little house on Cross Street 20 years ago to refurb, talk about narrow, a car trying to get down it would knock on every door with its mirrors. Got exactly 90 seconds of sunlight every day. Streetlight was two inches away from bedroom window, had to wear Ray Bans in bed..

    A proper tram layout, I can remember getting a tram here, now it is only streetcars, does no justice. Those tram traction poles date back to the 1930s (just as the trolley bus system in London is starting). That wedge shaped building in no way resembles Flatiron Building in New York which was called that because it resembled a flat smoothing iron.

    There are some pretty nice buildings in Fleetwood - just in need of some tlc. I don't see why councils don't help out with the upkeep of them- rather than let them go downhill it would be much better than keep clearing them to build new - mind you there's lots of money to be made by developers - maybe by council officials who award contracts too !

    I’m in Blackpool on Friday and on Saturday we’re heading to Fleetwood to watch the match. Is it best to get the tram from Blackpool into Fleetwood or taxi? If we were to get the tram where would we catch the tram in Blackpool? We’ll probably drink in the Kings Arms before the match in Fleetwood. Thanks for any advice you could provide 👍🏻
