Lytham St Annes

Lytham St Annes Perhaps it’s because I live in Lancashire, or perhaps it’s just because Lytham Saint Annes is a seaside resort, but I think the area is wonderful. I hope you agree as I go through the key selling points of this interesting location. The Past Lytham Saint Annes is really two towns on the Fylde Coast in the western Lancashire coastal plain. Situated at the mouth of the River Ribble, which is one of North West England’s largest rivers, ...
...coast to the north. Lytham is considered to have first been settled by the Anglo Saxons in about 600 AD and up until the seventeenth century it was a fairly small and isolated community. In 1606 the Clifton family came into possession of Lytham and they carried out significant agricultural improvements to an area renowned for poor land drainage. Much of the area has reminders of their ownership as the name crops up throughout the town. From the ...

Review of Lytham St Annes

I LOVE Lytham St Annes, its one of my favourite places in the world. Although strictly speaking they are 2 seperate towns, Lytham and St Annes, they are generally referred to as one as their boundaries are now almost indistinguishable. Instead of differentiating between the 2 they are commonly referred to and recognised as Lytham St Annes So first of all, where is it? Well St Annes is located just a couple of miles south of Blackpool on the North ...
...peace!! Heading along towards Lytham is Fairhaven Lake. A very large lake is as youd expect the centre piece of this area. There are assorted boats for hire as well as My Fair Lady the larger boat which will take you right round the lake. Fairhaven really has something for everyone: playparks, tennis courts, bowling greens, putting green, crazy golf, tea room, giftshops theyve really thought of everything. So, by now youre almost in Lytham. Lytham ...

Review of Lytham St Annes

...need to get straight Lytham and St Annes are two different places with 2 different town centres and I am reviewing St Annes and not Lytham. (ok it is now a single borough but the people that live in these places see them as separate towns) If you put either St Annes or Lytham into google etc you will get information on both Lytham and St Annes The full name is St Annes-On-the-Sea which is shortened to St Annes . A Bit of History Colonal Clifton ...
...a railway from Blackpool to Lytham and some farms and cottages that paid rent to the Clifton's. They had seen the good of Lytham as a resort so saw the dunes as somewhere they could develop. They started in 1872 with Clfton Drive (a road which runs parallel to the front) which they linked to Heyhouses Lane (the original road from Lytham to Blackpool) by another Road (St Annes Road). In 1874 a business man (Elijah Hargreaves) was visiting and saw ...

Review of Lytham St Annes

...time at the much nicer Lytham St Annes - just a few minutes up the coast. Lytham St Annes is actually a combination of Lytham, St Annes ( proper name St Annes on Sea), Ansdell and Fairhaven and is situated just three miles south of Blackpool. In complete contrast to Blackpool this is a far more relaxed area where you can enjoy peaceful parks, beautiful gardens and admire some beautiful buildings. The population of this area tends to be generally ...
...for younger people. Lytham itself lies in the south west of the Fylde area of Lancashire on the estuary of the River Ribble and is a traditional coastal village. Originally it was a rural community, relatively poor and backward for centuries.The Manor of Lytham passed through several hands until in 1606 the Clifton family came to Lytham. this family made an incredible impression on Lytham and did a lot to build it up to a prosperous little town. ...
