| notes:- |
Developed as a resort in the late 19th century. Pleasure boats from Morecambe and
Fleetwood came here. Visitors could have salmon and shrimp teas. |
|
| Barges came with coal and took away limestone. Stone from here was used in building
the promenade at Blackpool. |
||
| The pier approach is now silted up; the railway took over. |
