Friday 14 January 2011: The Mount Pavilion
Called to see my Mum (needed a hug after this week's events) and Dad today at Fleetwood and thought I would blip the Town's most prominent feature- The Mount - a seven-acre (3 hectare) park facing the sea-front, laid out by Decimus Burton,a famous architect in the 1800's, and built on a large sand-dune originally known as Tup's Hill. It is surmounted by this pavilion built in 1902 incorporating a clock added in 1919. I spent many happy hours as a child playing in the children's park in one of the hollow's of the grounds. I 'did a Google' and you can find more images here
