Lytham Green by

Went for a little walk along Lytham Prom with my wife Donna and son 3rd March 2011..While Those 2 walked ahead and were having a chat I was getting some shots of the windmill and old lifeboat station at Lytham ..
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.
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.
Shot with a Nikon D90 and Nikkor 18-55mm vr lens..
