Fleetwood's Abandoned Port
Fleetwood's Abandoned Port
Once busy with the famous Fleetwood fishing fleet the port of Fleetwood is now abandoned. In its Victorian heydays there were ferries to Douglas (IOM) and Ardrossan (Scotland), the latter killed by the railway expansion. In recent years there was a ferry to Larne (Ireland) operated by the Stena Line but that has now been pulled and docks lie empty.
