EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print takes us back in time to the early 20th century, showcasing the breathtaking view of The Mount in Fleetwood, Wyre district, Lancashire, England. The focus of this image is the elegant Pavilion, which graces the summit of the hill. This scenic vantage point holds historical significance as the site of the first planned town of the Victorian era, masterfully designed by renowned architect Decimus Burton. Decimus Burton, a pioneer in urban planning, meticulously laid out the streets of Fleetwood in a half-wheel pattern, creating a unique and innovative layout that was both functional and visually appealing. The town was designed to provide a healthier living environment for its residents, with wide streets, ample green spaces, and easy access to the sea. The Pavilion, constructed in 1902, stands proudly atop The Mount as a testament to the town's rich history. With its distinctive domed roof and ornate columns, the Pavilion is an iconic landmark that has become synonymous with Fleetwood. This photograph, estimated to have been taken around 1907, captures the Pavilion in all its glory, bathed in the soft light of a bygone era. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, allowing us to appreciate the vision and innovation of Decimus Burton and the historical significance of Fleetwood. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable piece of history that tells the story of a town that was once at the forefront of urban planning in the Victorian era.
