Fleetwood is a town and civil parish within the Wyre district of Lancashire, England, lying at the northwest corner of the Fylde. It had a population of 25,939 people at the 2011 census. 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. The town expanded greatly in the first half of the 20th century with the growth of the UK fishing industry, and passenger ferries to the Isle of Man to become a deep-sea fishing port.

I was just sauntering, actually being buffered, along the seafront and came across this installation, a set of poignant statues of girls greeting the return of loved ones, or were they also waving them off? I understand that folks want to leave floral tributes here, but leaving so many dead flowers in place detracts from these lovely statues. There's a nearby plaque that gives some useful information. A nice tribute to fishermen and their families to see as you walk along Fleetwood's seafront.

Totally fallen in love with Fleetwood it's so clean everywhere, the Council do a good job, it's a lovely walk along the beach and prom with lots of original Victorian touches around the area.. A beautiful inland lighthouse located in front of the the original grand Euston hotel which in its heyday must have been an imposing landmark on the front.. Not a lot for kids other than a lovely beach and play area but it's a great place with lots of little cafes and snackeries
