About Fleetwood - show infohide info

Fleetwood is a town in Lancashire, England, lying at the northern end of the Fylde peninsula. It has a population of around 28,000 people. The fishing industry was destroyed in the late 1960's by the cod wars - a dispute over fishing rights between Iceland and Britain. As Fleetwood's trawlers mainly fished the North Atlantic in search of cod, the loss of the fishing grounds hit the town hard. The last deep sea trawler left the town in 1982 and now only inshore fishing boat fish out of the port, although trawlers registered in other places can still be seen taking advantage of the fish market. Fish is still a big industry in the town, though it is mainly in processing rather than fishing where the jobs are. Fleetwood is also famous for being the home of Fisherman's Friend - a menthol lozenge which is bizarrely hugely popular in Japan. Attractions in the town include The Mount pavilion and clock, Fleetwood pier and the Pharos and Lower Lighthouses. More recently the shopping arcade of Freeport has attracted many visitors. Fleetwood is also home to a museum and lies at the northern end of Blackpool's tramway. Ferries sail from Fleetwood across the River Wyre to Knott End-on-Sea, and in past days there has been a service (more recently in summer only) to Douglas in the Isle of Man. Nearby towns include Blackpool, Poulton-le-Fylde, Preston, Lancaster and Morecambe
