Partnership & Delivery 49 6 Lancashire Culture Remade 52 Glossary 55 Appendices 57 References 91 2 Remade: A Cultural Investment Strategy For Lancashire FOREWORD Lancashire’s culture – a tremendous conflation of people, history, language, traditions, art and cultural assets - is central to what defines our county as a place of creativity and making, ideas and innovation. A county of stunning coastline, rich countryside and canals that cut through historic cities and industrial towns, Lancashire is a place of unique contrasts and credibility. It is home to the UK’s first mass leisure resort as well as its oldest continual festival. It originated the Spinning Jenny in the nineteenth century and the jet engine in the twentieth century, and, where once the industrial spirit and passion of its people brought cotton and textiles to the world, they now attract international renown for their research into new and emerging technologies and Michelin stars and awards for their world class food and drink. We are incredibly proud of Lancashire’s culture. As a sector, culture and the arts attract over £7 million investment from ACE, augmenting the £34 million County Council and Local Authority combined total spend on culture.

  • Economic Dev Strategy and A
    Plan for Fylde - Plan for the Future Fylde Council Fylde Local Plan Publication VersionEconomic Development June 2016Strategy and Action Plan Fylde Local Plan to 2032 – Publication version Preface Fylde consists of the classic seaside resort towns of Lytham and St Annes, the historic market town of Kirkham and the urban centres of Wesham, Warton and Freckleton; together with large areas of countryside and picturesque rural settlements. The Local Plan identifies the settlement hierarchy for Fylde at the end of the plan period in 2032. It is a destination in its own right for leisure, culture and tourism. Fylde is also an important part of the Lancashire economy – containing regionally significant business sectors including BAE Systems at Warton, (part of the internationally and nationally important Lancashire Advanced Engineering and Manufacturing Enterprise Zone), Blackpool Airport and its associated Enterprise Zone and the Westinghouse Springfields (Salwick) nuclear processing plant. It is vital that we manage, guide and encourage development within Fylde to meet the identified needs and aspirations of our local communities. The Local Plan identifies four Strategic Locations for Development which will be the focus for the level of housing development and economic growth required in Fylde up to the end of the plan period. The four Strategic Locations are: Lytham and St Annes; Fylde – Blackpool Periphery; Warton; and Kirkham and Wesham. To accommodate the level of development proposed, the Local Plan includes a masterplan policy for all of the Strategic Locations to ensure that new development on strategic sites is planned and delivered in an effective manner. The Publication version represents an important process in the preparation of the new Local Plan for Fylde.

  • The Pavilion Keeper of the Mount
    The Pavilion Keeper of The Mount For hundreds of years, right beneath your feet, tiny grains of sand have been gathering one by one to create a magnificent hill… The Mount! It is one of the most famous sand dunes in all of England. Celtic warriors, Roman soldiers and Viking raiders all probably stood and looked out across Morecambe Bay from the top of this sandy giant. Even one of the most famous queens of all time visited too, so you are literally standing in the footsteps of royalty! This sleepy sandy giant known back then as Starr Hill is about to become VERY famous; something VERY exciting is going to happen… Welcome to Georgian England, 200 years ago… ladies are not allowed to show their ankles, men are expected to grow giant face whiskers and it is considered very rude to look straight into the eyes of a stranger… unusual times! But more importantly a local landowner called Sir Peter Hesketh-Fleetwood (who had amazing face whiskers) is planning a brand new town. He wants to transform the sand dune, the mouth of the River Wyre and the land around them into a stylish new town with a port and a park and guess what… The Mount will be the magnificent centrepiece! The park around The Mount will have to be really fashionable, with exotic plants from around the world and hidden gardens. If you hunt carefully today you can still see and smell eucalyptus trees from Australia and purple lavender too; they both smell AMAZING! Georgian ‘Regency’ gardens are magical places with lots of surprises, beautiful colours and the best views.
