What is recorded here
This blue commemorative plaque records: Lytham railway station. Built in 1874 when the Blackpool-Lytham line was joined to the Lytham-Kirkham branch of the Preston and Wyre Railway. It fell out of use after downgrading by British Rail. The Italianate stone facade was preserved during conversion to a pub in 1986. Recorded plaque organisation: Lytham St Annes Civic Society.
Lytham St Annes railway station, originally built in 1874, played a crucial role in connecting Blackpool and Lytham, facilitating tourism and economic growth; its preservation as a pub retains a piece of the region's transportation history.
