Walk Around the Town of Kirkham on the Fylde Coast

Описание: When we went to meet Santa we also took a walk around the Town of Kirkham on the Fylde Coast. It's a lovely little place, really well looked after with some good shops. Come and take a look. Filmed on Monday 7 December 2020.

Originally called Kirkham in Amounderness Kirkham is midway between Blackpool and Preston, adjacent to Wesham.

Apparently it originated because of Carr Hill on which it was built, and was once the location of a Roman fort. It's probably the earliest inhabited locality on the Fylde. The name is from the Danish 'kirk' (church) and Saxon 'ham' (settlement).

The town of Kirkham is listed in the Domesday Book of 1086. The Market Charter was granted in 1269-70 by King Henry III.

Kirkham isn't a place that we know an awful lot about, so this is a voyage of discovery for us too! We start our walk around the town near the millenium clock, looking at the main high street and taking a peek at the shops. There are numerous small towns and villages like Kirkham on the Fylde Coast - why don't you explore them too?
