Since when did St Annes claim to be Lytham? There are a large number of people doing the opposite of that, celebrating and promoting St Annes on Sea as a beautiful, heritage-rich garden town by the sea that's been loved by families for 150 years.

4 different orchid species on the Fylde sand dunes wildflower walk today at St Annes. These are, I think, Northern Marsh, Pyramidal, Common Spotted and Early Marsh. Privileged to be playing a small part in the Fylde Sand Dunes Project www.lancswt.org.uk/our-work/pro...

I am so happy you said that, I was in a vintage shop in St Annes on Sea, the owner had a large framed Hunky Dory cover on sale,I asked her about it and she said they played Kooks at her grandaughters christening. I said I love that so we started singing it together, great moment.

Fascinating walk yesterday courtesy of the RNLI at St Annes. As the sea channel of the River Ribble was prone to moving they built 'training walls' to keep it straight as far out as 15 miles from Preston docks. It's a 1.5 mile walk out from St Annes at low tide and really interesting to see.

Osprey: Heyhouses, Lytham St. Annes, Lancs. 3rd April 2025.

My first migrant Osprey of the year flew NNE over the Heyhouses area of Lytham St. Annes this morning. As much as I enjoyed watching Ospreys at a breeding site recently, you can’t beat the dramatic moment when a migrating bird appears. #LancsBirding

Don't you just love it when someone shows how little they know about a topic they have strong opinions on! Lytham St Annes is a navigational area. It contains two separate towns - Lytham, and St Annes on the Sea - plus the village of Ansdell. Sooooo Lytham is in Lytham St Annes. Good grief πŸ˜†

150 years old TODAY - Happy birthday St Annes on the Sea!
The 'old girl' is timelessly beautiful, welcoming, wonderful and always re-inventing herself.
But what makes St Annes really special, is her amazing community (which stretches to fans worldwide.)
For those who love the British seaside.

A Cotton Traders ad about 'Debra' not liking Lytham St Annes has not gone down well in the TWO towns involved - St Annes on Sea and Lytham. The company is trying to placate locals with billboards on our main road.

Manchester's history is everyone's history - such an amazing city. Also, I had no idea that children of Italian families were evacuated to Lytham St Annes during the war. I would love to learn more about this.

A couple of weeks after all the Christmas trees were buried on St Annes beach to encourage new sand dunes, we were back. Today was about planting Marram grass on the exposed patches to consolidate the accumulated sand.

Watching a Coronation Street episode from 1972 and enjoying everything Ena Sharples says a great deal.

πŸš‚ The little train at the seafront is BACK! You know it's nearly Spring when St Annes Miniature Railway is running, ageless and timeless.
Now open for Half Term. After the holiday it will be offering a 'mid-week special' and booking in groups:

Great photos but it's the opposite direction to Wales ( you can see it clearly across the sea on some days). The outline behind Blackpool is the Cumbrian mountains.

πŸ˜† is Lytham still posh? Not been in years. My dad's parents moved to St Annes when my grandad retired and both places seemed la-di-da to us. Les Dawson moved there too. He was always in their shop in Unsworth and popped up in loads of places locally in Prestwich. Trying his jokes out on em all πŸ˜„

🍺 St Annes-on-the-Sea, Lancs: these two joints were opposite each other, so a handy double scoop! The busy Hop Shoppe had a café-bar vibe (I drank the flavoursome but chewy Little Dreamer from Liquid Light), while the Keg N Cask was a bustling micropub (sharply bitter, eponymous ale from Phoenix).

Saw my first snowdrops of the year this morning, in Ashton Gardens here in St Annes. This, combined with the lengthening days, always lifts my spirits, as it shows the darkest part of winter is now behind us.
