More about this scene
The first Knott End ferry began as a family business shortly after work on Fleetwood started, but in 1894, was taken over by the municipal council. During the resort's heyday it was a popular excursion for visitors and, at one time, the boat carried almost 1½ million passengers a year. Behind is Fleetwood's North Euston Hotel, which opened in 1841.

My parents visited Knott-End-on-Sea many times, particularly in the September before I was born in March 1932. We used to stay at a house in Lune View with a family called Butler and Mrs. Butler nursed me many times when I woke during the night! They were a lovely family - I think the daughter was called Eva but cannot remember the name of their son. They moved to Fleetwood.
