More about this scene
1898 was a prosperous time: Fleetwood was a busy port, sending ships all over the world from Shanghai to San Francisco, and the fishing fleet was announcing record catches. This view shows Euston Park in its early days. The white monument is the memorial to the fishermen Abram and Greenall, who lost their lives trying to save another fisherman. On the right is the Pharos lighthouse, designed by Sir Decimus Burton, and on the left, alongside the river frontage, is the new railway station, one of the finest in the country at that time. The Isle of Man boats could be boarded from here, there were ships to Scotland and Ireland, and trains left for all parts of the country. Mr T Oldham in his top hat and tails was the stationmaster.
