Lightfoot Lane, Fulwood
This used to be the major road into the Fylde from north Preston, but now replaced by a new road to service the housing estates of Tanterton and Ingol. Lightfoot Lane has been 'chopped off' - there is a dead end behind the photographer.

Lancashire Fire & Rescue Service HQ
The Service HQ building on Garstang Road, Fulwood was built as a private residence for one family but is now workplace for 187 people. Over many years it has become a compromise in terms of space and suitability for purpose. Moreover, the cost of maintaining and heating the old building has been a constant drain on resources which will be more than offset by the energy and efficiency savings that purpose-built premises would guarantee.
Lancashire’s Combined Fire Authority have approved plans to re-locate the Headquarters of the Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service from Fulwood to Chorley, building a new combined Service Headquarters and Training Centre site on the existing Chorley site, aiming for Spring of 2016 to complete the move.

Our Lady & St Edward's Catholic Church
St Anthony's church served the area until the expansion of Fulwood to the west of Garstang Road led to the opening of Our Lady and St Edward's on Marlborough Drive in 1954. The Primary School was not opened until the summer of 1966, the children attending St Anthony's until then, by which time it had had to be built away from the church and on Lightfoot Lane.
