What to do and see in Fleetwood, England: The Best Shopping
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.

As a rule of thumb markets aren't what they used to be. Far from being places where you could find everything you wanted, these days they too often tend to concentrate on cheap clothes and things you've never really wanted anyway. Thank goodness then that Fleetwood is an exception to the new rule. It's a while since I'd visited but with a bit of time to spare between appointments in the port I ducked in and was delighted to find as near to a traditional market as you are likely to see. For starters most of it is under cover. Whether you want wool, cotton, cards, haberdashery, candles, things for pets and parents, ribbons for your hair or cannabis oil for your aching limbs, it's all here along with cd's, videos, vinyl, shirts for "fat lads" and clothes for kids. It's all very friendly and very local, there's food and (non alcoholic) drink too.
