The North Euston Hotel, a fine semi-circular building, was built in 1841 overlooking Morecambe Bay and the estuary of the River Wyre. The hotel was close to the departure point for the steamers to Scotland and was built principally to serve overnight guests making the railway journey from London Euston. By the mid-1850s the completion of the western railway link between London and Scotland over Shap Fell rendered Fleetwood's role as a transport terminus obsolete. The town’s railway station closed in 1966.
