Derelict Bungalow and Fruit & Vegetable Shop, Lytham Road, Warton - 1
I used to live in Warton and in the late 1960s / early 1970s walked to the Fruit & Vegetable Shop on most Saturdays ... not just to buy Fruit & Vegetables for my Mum and Dad ... but also to see and chat to the Girl who worked there. I moved away a few years later ... I wonder what did happen to her.
I believe the Bungalow, Shop and adjoining field, in the picture, were compulsorily purchased in the mid 1970s with the intention being to build a junction for a proposed Warton By-Pass and the A584 Lytham Road. The Warton By-Pass was supposed to be an extension of the Freckleton By-Pass - Freckleton being the neighbouring village nearer to Preston. Freckleton did get its By-Pass in (I believe) 1986 and the proposed Warton By-Pass would have been built as a road off the small roundabout where the existing dual carriageway ends. The By-Pass would then have followed a line around and behind Warton Village and eventually would join the A584 where these buildings now still, just about, stand.
Methinks the Warton By-Pass will never be built.
The shown plot of land is now owned by the National Estates Council who inform me that they are planning to build houses on it.
