    I have many happy memories of Fleetwood- my aunt and uncle lived there for years and we were frequent visitors. More recently we’ve visited with our sons and spent many a happy hour there. 👍

    It's probably been 8 years since I visited Fleetwood. We would always use the tram, preferably an old one to get there. (Yes, been on that cream and green one many times). Fleetwood was a quiet, peaceful retreat of our day visiting Blackpool. The first shops seemed to have change a bit. There was a souvenir shop I would always go in and they would have unique items to purchase. The ladies in there would be so every so sweet and helpful. Never did we visit Blackpool without the long tram ride to Fleetwood. Thanks for bringing back lovely memories Neil! :)

    Many thanks mate, it brought back a lot of happy memories. I wish more video bloggers would realise that the video is supposed to be about the place rather than the presenter. Well done.

    Back In the 70s a Hugely successful London pop band called Feetwood Mac made this town famous worldwide. Tour walk featured a beautiful, elegant seaside resort. THX

    Really enjoyed this walk down memory lane. We went on holiday to Fleetwood as kids, enjoyed fish and chip dinners and the arcades in the evening. Those glam spanking new Nike Gimbals look like the dogs... ^_^

    Have to admit I have a soft spot for Fleetwood, probably because of the trams (I love trams!) though I like it's quietness. We were supposed to visit it this year but sadly circumstances meant we had to cancel. Great video as always and it goes a little way to replace our missing visit.

    Was in Fleetwood over the Easter holidays & the town brings back great memories as a kid whilst staying in Blackpool mum & dad would take me to Fleetwood to see the ferries & it seemed much busier as to what it is now, think the only ferry that operates now is the Knott End one...Great video Neil 😃👍

    Love your videos, I'm from Bradford and really enjoyed your walk around Bradford city centre. This is another fascinating walk. Fleetwood market is great, you didn't pass it but it is worth a visit. Great job.

    I am sure there used to be a freeport shopping place or a big market in the 80s or 90s as i remember driving there it was so busy i nearly got stuck on the tram lines once ,looks very quiet.i remember it being a busy place,
