Fleetwood is a town in Lancashire, England, lying at the northern end of the Fylde peninsula. It thrived as a seaport and a fishing port, and has more recently been known as a seaside resort. Fish is still a big industry in the town, though it is mainly in processing rather than fishing where the jobs are. Fleetwood is also famous for being the home of Fisherman's Friend - a menthol lozenge which is, bizarrely, hugely popular in Japan. Attractions in the town include The Mount pavilion and clock, Fleetwood pier and the Pharos and Lower Lighthouses. More recently the shopping arcade of Freeport has attracted many visitors. Fleetwood is also home to a museum and lies at the northern end of Blackpool's tramway.
