I always used to drive to Blackpool and the first sign coming on to the M55 was 'Garstang'. Always wondered wat it was like. Looks lovely. Always come by train now so I do not pass so close.

I think you have found one of the nicer towns in Lancashire. They really take care. Thank you Stephen 😘.

Love the flowers in the phone box, rather than the usual vandalised, smelly ones. Looks a nice place to live.

Nice video. As an old Garstang resident (I emigrated to Fleetwood some years ago) I enjoyed the memories this brought to me. Yeah weind is definitely “weend” I’ve never seen it used anywhere else. My sister lives in the oldest cottage. Been owned by the family for years. My dad was born there in 1930 and when it was renovated in the mid 80s there was still wattle and daub walls inside. The reason there are so many pubs is because it was the original course of the great north road and most of the pubs on the high street were old coaching inns. Best pint used to be in the church inn just down from the Catholic Church. Now sadly been turned into flats.

When you say Mrs Thompson lives out of the centre of the town. Do you mean perhaps more towards A6 ......possibly along Woodfold Lane way sort of thing? Oh and when you spoke to that first fan and he told you where to go ...... Ha ha ha ha.
@paulharvey9149 Жыл бұрын
Nice little town on what must have been at some point the old A6 I guess - maybe before it was even numbered as such? I had a look round myself a few years back, when visiting a friend on a nearby farm - he's now in St Michael's, so not a million miles away!
