Top quality authentic Museum explains history of this towns journey from port to Scotland and isle of man. Northern Euston hotel in town marks Northern limit of rail from it's counter named London station. Once a huge fishing fleet brought fresh produce to the whole country by rail at 0430 each morning. Before the Shap pass was conquered this was the route to Northern Ireland and Scotland. Excellent centre, motivated staff and coffee shop. An easy two hour visit and worth every penny.. Exhibits and history of Fishermen's Freind cough tablet included. Of interest to radio hams. Several Marconi radio systems are on display in the boathouse

£3 per adult was a bargain price to pay for what this Museum had to offer. A real hidden gem and just a nice and interesting place to walk around. The Smack boat in the shed out the back was a real privilege to see and well worth a look. The volunteers were lovely and very enthusiastic. Plenty of costumes to try on and the gift shop was well priced. My favourite was the Fisherman's Friend exhibition and seeing the original artefacts inside there. The cafe seemed very good, although it was a bit too warm in there today sadly. If that's the only drawback then it shows you how good this little place is.

Most tourists know Fleetwood because of the market, but the museum is a real find. There are lots of wonderful exhibits, but even better are the retired trawlermen who are willing and able to pass on their knowledge. One chap took the time to explain the tidal system in the whole of Morecambe Bay to me . It's fascinating but pretty frightening, too. And you must go to the cafe. The 2 women who were on today were a hilarious double act. As a senior, I paid £2 for this marvellous experience. When you are done with the Market give it a go. You won't regret it.
