Fleetwood is a coastal town in the Borough of Wyre in Lancashire, England, at the northwest corner of the Fylde. It had a population of 25,939 at the 2011 census.

Fleetwood acquired its modern character in the 1830s, when the principal landowner Peter Hesketh-Fleetwood, High Sheriff and MP, conceived an ambitious plan to re-develop the town to make it a busy seaport and railway spur. He commissioned the Victorian architect Decimus Burton to design a number of substantial civic buildings, including two lighthouses. Hesketh-Fleetwood's transport terminus schemes failed to materialise. The town expanded greatly in the first half of the 20th century with the growth of the fishing industry, and passenger ferries to the Isle of Man, to become a deep-sea fishing port.

Decline of the fishing industry began in the 1960s, hastened by the Cod Wars with Iceland, though fish processing is still a major economic activity in Fleetwood. The town's most significant employer today is Lofthouse of Fleetwood, manufacturer of the lozenge Fisherman's Friend which is exported around the world.

The Pharos, or to give it it’s usual name, Upper Lighthouse stands on Pharos Street. Find it not far from the junction with North Albert Street, near the tram tracks, and in sight of the seafront. It’s named after the ancient lighthouse Pharos of Alexandria.

The Beach or Lower Lighthouse stands right in front of the North Euston Hotel, on The Esplanade. The light from this lighthouse is 30 feet above high water and can be seen for nine miles.

The Pharos and Beach Lighthouses, are the stone ones on shore, also known as the Upper and Lower lighthouses. They were both opened in December 1840 and are both still fully operational.
