Fleetwood

 The start of a walk from Fleetwood along the promenade to Cleveleys
On the left is the North Euston Hotel and the 'Lower Light' in the centre
 Looking across the Wyre estuary from Fleetwood to Knott End
The passenger ferry is moored on the slipway at Knott End

 'The Home-coming' marks the spot where families stood to welcome home their fisherman relatives
 Another view of 'The Home-coming'

 The old coastguard station at Rossall Point has been demolished and replaced by this unusual structure for bird-watching on the sands of the Wyre estuary


 The observation post is open to the public on Friday - Sunday and other days by arrangement

Looking south down the promenade from Rossall Point towards Blackpool
Blackpool Tower can just be seen in the centre of the picture
