More about this scene

Many Fylde inns were named 'Horns', presumably harking back to the days when herds of deer roamed here. Some inns of that name sported splendid antlers as inn signs, as at Goosnargh. An American wanted to buy the sign at Garstang, but the innkeeper refused to sell. Further along Church Road is the lovely building designed by John Carr of York, Kirkland Hall. John Carr of York also designed Lytham Hall.

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I was born and raised at the School House, next door to the Horns Inn, as was my father and his siblings. I was married in St Helens church in 1942. This photograph, taken in 1960, shows the "bypass" which enabled the village to be freed from the noise of heavy traffic. My grandfather was the headmaster at the school and is buried in the churchyard. My father suceeded him as head. This site truly brings back childhood memories of the past.
