Summary
editDescriptionFleetwood 1st railway station (site), Lancashire (geograph 6444092).jpg |
English: Fleetwood 1st railway station (site), Lancashire Opened in 1840 by the Preston & Wyre Joint Railway (joint between the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway and the London & North Western Railway), this station closed in 1851 when it was replaced by a larger station covering the foreground and right of the image. In turn, that 1851 station was replaced by a third station adjacent to the ferry terminal, several hundred metres behind the camera position. View south west from Dock Street. In the 1840s, the Crown Hotel would have stood where the building on the right of the image now is, at the end of Church Street, with the railway passenger terminus immediately to the left of it. In later years, this whole area was covered by railway tracks and warehouses, then later still by a car-park for the ferries. Not surprisingly therefore, nothing remains of either the 1840 or 1851 stations. The whole area was derelict when this image was taken. See also SD3347 : Fleetwood 2nd railway station (site), Lancashire and SD3448 : Fleetwood 3rd railway station (site), Lancashire 2nd and 3rd railway station sites. There was even a fourth station site as the railway was cut back to the former "Wyre Dock" station in 1966 and it was renamed "Fleetwood". |
