    In the 1800's, a wealthy land owner decided to make what was a sleepy fishing port into a major terminus for trains connecting to ferries to Scotland and Ireland. Great care was taken in planning an attractive new town, only for the railways to bypass Fleetwood on their way north.

    The town's most notable employer today is Lofthouse of Fleetwood, manufacturer of the lozenge Fisherman's Friend.

    Fleetwood is the only town in the United Kingdom to possess three lighthouses.The Pharos is the only functioning lighthouse in the United Kingdom built in the middle of the street.

    Fleetwood took off as a fishing port when Hull's James Marr brought a fleet of steam trawlers to Fleetwood and actively started to change the port by selectively fishing for hake.

    Fleetwood is the only town in Britain with trams running the full length of its main street.

    It is home to the last new seaside pier to be built in the United Kingdom.

    This has been posted 17 times this season alone, and Chaz hasn't read one of them.

    He'll still give a thumb though.

    In October 1927, 90% of the area of the town was under water due to flooding.

    Jamie Vardy scored 31 goals for Fleetwood for the 2011/12 season.

    The first fully automated telephone exchange in Britain was put into operation to serve the town on 15 July 1922.

    Fleetwood has had several football clubs over its history. The current version of the club, dating from 1997, is now known as Fleetwood Town F.C. and is nicknamed the Fishermen, and its followers the Cod Army. The club has played in the Football League since 2012.

    In May 2014 Fleetwood were victorious in the League 2 play-off final to win promotion to League 1. In August 2014, Nathan Pond, played in his seventh different division for the club, an achievement officially recognised by Guinness as a world record under the title of ‘the most football (soccer) divisions played in for one club by an individual.’

    With a population of under 26,000, Fleetwood is the smallest town in England with a League club.

    A previous incarnation of Fleetwood Town F.C. enjoyed a brief history from 1977, reaching the final of the FA Vase in 1985, before being wound up because of financial difficulties in 1996. The same fate also befell the two previous town clubs. Fleetwood F.C. was founded in 1908 and wound up in 1976.Fleetwood Rangers, the town's first club, spent ten seasons in the Lancashire League and Lancashire Combination from 1889 to 1899. Since 1939, home games have been played at Highbury Stadium.

    Speedway racing was staged at Highbury Stadium from 1948 to 1952, with Fleetwood Flyers riding in the Second Division of the National Speedway league. The Flyers started the 1948 season as Wigan RLFC but moved to Fleetwood after racing a few away fixtures billed as Wigan.

    I'm really sorry to read that. Any resident having a hard time and having to pay off a mortgage must be wondering if there's any point carrying on with life.

    I decided to read it this week rather than just hit the like.Very informative DMD and well worth a 9/10:emoticon-0148-yes:

    I'd have given you a 10 but you missed Mick(Fleetwood) out so I've marked it accordingly.
