The
North Euston in Fleetwood came highly recommended by a dance group, so with
some trepidation, Patrick and I went from one run down former fishing port
and ferry terminal (Hull) to another to see if it would be a suitable venue
for bridge. Considered Fleetwood’s crown jewel by many, the hotel is a fine
semi-circular building which opened in 1841, designed by the foremost
architect of the day, Decimus Burton. It derives its name from the fact that
it stood at the end of the railway line from London Euston. The imposing
frontage dominates the Fleetwood waterfront and enjoys spectacular panoramic
views over the Wyre estuary to Morecambe Bay and the Lake District. We
arrived early at the hotel so went for a walk along the promenade, had a chat
with some interesting and informative locals and then had lunch at an
excellent café just opposite the hotel. We spent the afternoon studying the
faded architectural grandeur of the town centre and paid a visit to the
renowned Fleetwood market. There were stalls selling everything imaginable,
though it was such a warren that I don’t think we explored it all. Our
bedroom was a little dated but clean and comfortable. The staff must have
been among the friendliest anywhere and the food was very good. The bridge
room was light and airy. We viewed it both in the day and in the evening. The
following day we bought a cheap return ticket for the tram immediately
outside the hotel which would have taken us all the way to Blackpool, but we
had decided to visit Cleveley. After a browse along the main shopping street we went to the seafront café for lunch and a stroll
along the delightful promenade before returning by tram to Fleetwood for a
visit to the museum. We were eventually thrown out! We had been so interested
in the exhibits and the tales of the curators that we hadn’t realised the
passage of time, so we’ll have to wait for our next trip to Fleetwood and a
bit more time for our visit. We didn’t even have time to visit the Affinity
Outlet just on the outskirts of the town, If you decide
to join us for a bridge holiday, I hope you’ll be able to fit the bridge in! |
