When in Fleetwood schedule a visit to the Fleetwood museum

The museum began in the early 1970s as a local history collection in the old Dock Street Library. Eventually permanent showcases were built and The Margaret Rowntree Room, named after Fleetwood's first female mayor - was established. In 1982, as part of Maritime England Year, the ground floor and basement of the Dock Street Library were converted into Fleetwood Museum. The main emphasis here was maritime history. In 1991 the museum was moved to its present site at 6-7 Queen's Terrace.
