Fleetwood Town     The ex fishing port of Fleetwood which lies on the estuary of the River Wyre. Nowadays the once busy fishing port relies more on the tourist industry and leisure shopping area of the Freeport and the market. The Freeport complex housed around the old docks includes a marina for those interested in yachting, a shopping mall, The All American Automobile Show and Butterfly World. Fleetwood is also famous as the last town in England to be served by trams which ran down the main street, Lord Street. This, of course, was before the re-introduction of urban light railways in cities like Manchester. The tramway runs from the southern boundary of Blackpool, Starr Gate, to the ferry terminal in Fleetwood, formerly the site of a British Railways station and still, in summer the ferry wharf for ships to the Isle Of Man This tramway was the first in Great Britain to be electrified in 1885.
