Fleetwood Heritage Open Days 2011
Fleetwood Museum has smartened up its cafe, and in pride of place is the stained glass window from Fleetwood Grammar School.
St Peter's Church in the heart of Fleetwood has spent over a £1million on a facelift including several new and stylish stained glass windows.
Ansdell Heritage Open Days 2011
The White Church at Ansdell is a United Reformed Church and welcomed visitors. The interior of the church is square inside and has a comfortable feel even though it reflects the simplicity of the United Reformed Church's tradition.
