the trams ran only to Fleetwood !

In Roman times they probably ran further as evidence of Roman tracks have been reported out near the Wyre Light suggesting the possibility of a tram-link between Fleetwood and Morecambe across what is now Morecambe Bay. The good news is that Morecambe took its name from the bay, and not the other way round.

Here's a picture of Abigail H sailing out of Fleetwood last year, no doubt on a mission to excavate those lost tram-tracks of yore. She sank in Heysham harbour not long after this picture was taken (see HERE) but was successfully re-floated and was recently seen tethered up safe and sound in the inner dock at Fleetwood. Here she is back in March with an admirer...
