The North Euston Hotel, Fleetwood
Image: © Nigel Thompson Taken: 12 Apr 2017
Opened in 1841 to serve rail passengers from London Euston to Glasgow. As there was no railway line through the Lake District at that time, rail passengers could take the train to here, stay overnight and catch the ferry the following day to Scotland. All this ended in the 1850s when through trains from London via Carlisle to Glasgow started running. But the hotel survives.
