This is a great promenade and is the posh end of the Fylde coast in Lancashire England, where most of the posh poeple live, very victorian and very well kept.
Shot this about a year or so ago when there was a big storm coming in, the sun was still shining but didn’t last long, saw this lovely bench and the windmill in the background, hope you like this shot, Some may remember this one.
Here’s a little historical info about lytham windmill in the background:
Built on what is now Lytham Green in 1805, the Windmill is the landmark that everyone sees when they come to Lytham. One of several mills on the Fylde, Lytham Mill was worked until 1919 when a fire destroyed most of the machinery. Rebuilt and renovated several times since, the Mill now houses a permanent exhibition of the history of the Mill and of Bread-making; tableaux of Lytham life during the last 100 years, various memorabilia and models. Open to visitors, free admission.

What a beautiful bench and nice to see it isn’t covered in graffiti . A fabulous shot and of the old windmill .
Hi Irene, I don’t think Lytham seems attract the the same poeple as Blackpool does, it wouldn’t last five minutes there, one like this would have been nicked before long and been put on E-bay LOL, glad you like the shot my friend.
