Welcome
to Freckleton
The Village of Flower & Music
Freckleton is located in the Fylde, Lancashire,
England, UK, just north of the river Ribble. It is one of the oldest
Fylde villages. Historically, Freckleton’s main industry is
agriculture but there was a time when it was a sea port with boat
building and sail making.
The Freckleton web site is a showcase for the
village. It provides information about local history, the shops,
pubs, restaurants, council, businesses, facilities, services and
amenities that are available locally.
There are also pictures from around the village
as well as information about the Lancashire Coastal Way and links
to everything we can find of relevance to Freckletonians.
Please use the menu at
the top of the page to navigate the site. |

News
Frecklestorne Project
For some time now the 'Frecklestorne Project' has been a matter for consideration and much discussion. This project is based on findings in the Freckleton Parish Plan of 2005, where it was established that the local community would benefit from a facility which could accommodate various social and sporting activities.
The Frecklestorne Project Committee has now successfully secured some lottery funding to conduct a survey to be carried out within the local community. This will establish exactly what facility would be feasible and sustainable for the village of Freckleton and surrounding area. A Lancashire based company called 'D.I.G.I. Enable' will conduct this survey over the next few weeks.
There will be a meeting at the Rawstorne Centre on Bush Lane at 7pm on Thursday 7th June when D.I.G.I Enable will present the format for this survey. Potential users of the proposed new facility are invited to attend the presentation.
It is really important that as many interested parties as possible attend this meeting. It will perhaps be the one and only public opportunity to hear about any such possible developments for Freckleton and the sole chance to share opinions on how to move the Frecklestorne Project forward. Your support will help to determine the nature and extent of any new building or scheme. I look forward to seeing you on Thursday 7th June at 7pm at the Rawstorne Centre.
Kind Regards, Frank Towers.
Chairman of the Frecklestorne Project Board.
Olympic Torch Bearer
Brian Porter has now had official confirmation that he is part of the London 2012 team. He will be carrying the Torch in Lytham St Annes on Saturday June 23rd 2012.
We will know the exact location around 4 weeks before and we will keep you informed. The time is likely to be between 6am and 7.30 am and will be somewhere between St Annes and Warton.
Brian said: "I am absolutely thrilled and honoured to be part of the Olympic Torch Relay. It is a real honour for Freckleton as well. Of the 60 million people in the Country they have chosen just 8000: for me to be one of those 8000 is overwhelming. It will be an early start, but it will be light and hopefully the sun will shine. I hope everyone in Freckleton will make the effort to come and see the Torch. This is something we will never see again in our area."
