More about this scene
It was 1725 when the Quakers opened their burial ground in Lower Lane, planting a tree for those who had died—no headstones were erected. It is thought that the Romans used Freckleton Naze as a landing place. Sail cloth weaving, boat building and corn milling flourished here until the 1920s. Favourite inns were the Plough and the Coach and Horses.
