North Euston Hotel Fleetwood

The North Euston Hotel.The hotel with its six Greco columns sits rather forlornly on the headland once the culmination of Hesketh’s plan to turn Fleetwood into quite literally the Euston of the North.Guests were charged 50 p a night to stay and most of the rooms had hot and cold running water.

Fleetwood's Pier.

An advert from the 1930's boosts of its cinema over the sea,hosting the only milk bar in the whole of Fleetwood and accommodation for 4,300.

Summit-Rochdale Canal

The Rochdale canal was completed in 1804,effectively linking the East and West coasts of England.It linked the Calder Valley with Manchester.

The majotr obstacle the route had to overcome was the South Pennines and the gap at whta is now summit was the lowest crossing point.The railway followed the same route 30 years later.At this point the Canal is 600ft above sea level and this is the highest broad lock in the Uk.
