The other significant local events are the annual St Anne's and Lytham Club Days, both of which include a procession of decorated floats and a funfair. These events, held over a weekend, bring in many visitors from the surrounding towns. The Lytham Club Day, in late June, is the larger of the two events.
Like similar seaside resorts, the town is a popular place to retire to, which has resulted in the average age of the population being higher than the national average.[1] There are a considerable number of nursing and retirement homes, many located in former large houses along Clifton Drive, one of the main roads linking Lytham and St Anne's. Many other large Victorian and Edwardian residences have been converted to apartments.

Lytham
Lytham was founded in about 600CE. For many centuries the economy of Lytham was dependent on fishing and shrimping, until the advent of tourism. After the start of the industrial revolution, wealthy industrialists moved from the east of the county. Fishing is the activity of hunting for fish by hooking, trapping, or gathering. ...

Until the middle of the 20th century the Clifton family was the leading family in Lytham and two of the town's main thoroughfares are named in their honour. Their estate on the outskirts of Lytham and Ansdell originally occupied a huge area. Lytham Hall, the family seat, remained in the family's ownership until 1979 after which ownership passed to a number of corporate bodies. The grounds of the Hall are occasionally opened to the public for performances of open-air concerts and plays. Several of the ornate gates to the estate and much of the distinctive pebble-dashed boundary wall survive.

St Anne's St Anne's-on-Sea (also known as St Anne's-on-the-Sea or St Anne's) was a 19th century planned town, officially founded on 31 March 1875. The village of Kilgrimol, which is believed to have been founded by Vikings in around 900CE, existed in what is now the north of St Annes.[2] Alternative meaning: Nineteenth Century (periodical) (18th century — 19th century — 20th century — more centuries) As a means of recording the passage of time, the 19th century was that century which lasted from 1801-1900 in the sense of the Gregorian calendar. ...

The town of St Anne's was mostly laid out according to a plan drawn up by businessmen, named Elijah Hargreaves who saw the economic benefits of attracting large numbers of visitors from the mill towns to the east. It retains much of its original character today, and is fighting hard to become a stylish town to rival Lytham, its near neighbour. It is a traditional quiet Victorian / Edwardian seaside resort with up-market hotels, a sandy beach, donkeys, a small pier and ice cream stalls. Sand dunes fringe the beach, and the town has an excellent, but little known sand dune nature reserve, and very good floral displays.

St Anne's beach hosts a number of kite flying events each year, although there are concerns about the future of these activities following a decision by Fylde Borough Council in 2006 to ban the flying of any kites with 2 or more lines anywhere in the Fylde pending a risk assessment, due to an accident in which a woman died. Following representations from kite fliers, the council rescinded the ban on condition that kite fliers remain at least 50m from the sand dunes pending completion of the risk assessment. The beach to the north of St Anne's pier has also been an internationally-renowned sand yachting location for many years, although there is currently a moratorium on the sport since 2002, when a visitor to the beach died after being hit by a sand yacht.

A memorial statue of a lifeboatman looking out to sea on was placed on the promenade at St Anne's after the disaster of 1886. The original lifeboat station was established in 1881[3] but closed in 1925 due to silting of the channel (this was a secondary channel of the Ribble that ran past the pier). St Anne's gained a new lifeboat station from 2000, when an all-weather RNLI lifeboat started to operate from a purpose-built base a few hundred metres south of the pier.[4] Formerly operating from Lytham, the base was moved to St Anne's due to the silting of the main channel of the River Ribble.

History The area is known to have been populated during the Bronze Age, and scattered hamlets have existed throughout the area since. Lytham and St Anne's are part of the Fylde - a part of the ancient area known as Amounderness. Lytham is mentioned in the Domesday Book as Lidun and in 1199 Richard Fitzroger gave his Lytham estates (then known as Lethun) to the Benedictine monks of Durham. The monks established a Priory (although it was really too small to be called that as it comprised three or four monks only) on the site of the present Lytham Hall. The Priory existed until 1539 - in 1540 the monastery at Durham was dissolved and the Crown became the lord of the manor. Fylde is a peninsula in western Lancashire, England. ...

The manor of Lytham passed through several owners until in 1606 it was sold to Cuthbert Clifton for £4300. Clifton enlarged the manor house and made it the family seat. The house was replaced in 1757 with the present Lytham Hall, the architect was John Carr of York. At this time St Annes did not exist, but the town of Lytham was large enough to be called such - it had a promenade of sorts and had a minor reputation as a resort. John Carr (1723 -1807) was a prolific English architect. ...

Northwards along the coast from Lytham, within the Clifton estates, were mostly sand dunes. All that existed as habitations were the tiny hamlet of Heyhouses and the rural Trawl Boat Inn (a name resurrected in recent times for a public house in Wood Street in St Annes, opened by Wetherspoons). In 1873 the Cliftons built a Chapel of Ease in this area, dedicated to St Anne, to encourage better religious observance as most inhabitants found the long journey to St Cuthbert's in Lytham too onerous. This was to become the Parish church of St.Anne's. At the time it was built the church had no tower. The Moon Under Water in Hounslow J. D. Wetherspoon plc (LSE: JDW) (commonly referred to as Wetherspoons or spoons) is a British pub chain founded by Tim Martin. ...

On 14 October 1874, the St Anne's-on-the-Sea Land and Building Company Ltd was registered, mainly on the instigation of Elijah Hargreaves, a wealthy Lancashire mill owner from Rawtenstall whose intention was to develop the area as a resort. The land of St Annes was leased from the Clifton estate for 999 years although the lease still gave the Cliftons the right to kill game on the land for this period. Building rapidly commenced with the St Anne's Hotel (built 1875, since demolished), the Hydro Terrace, which later became St Anne's Square, and the railway station being among the first to be built.

A separate company was formed to finance the construction of the pier, which was opened on 15 June 1885. At that time, the main channel of the River Ribble ran by the end of the pier and boats would bring people in from Lytham and Southport. The Ribble Navigation Act of 1883 which came into force in 1889, was intended to stabilise the often-silted River Ribble to allow a steady trade into Preston docks. However, this work moved the main channel much further out and left St Anne's pier on flat sand banks where no ships could dock. In June 1910, the Floral Hall was opened at the end of the pier. It was a popular attraction and stars such as Gracie Fields, Leslie Henson and Claude Hulbert all performed there. In 1974 a major fire seriously damaged the hall. It was then restored to some extent, but another fire in July 1982 destroyed it. About half the pier was then demolished to make the beach safe to use.[8] For the type of foundation, see Deep foundation. ...

Local issues
Property developments Currently the most controversial political issue in Lytham St Anne's concerns property development.
Given that the available greenfield sites have been exhausted, developers are now seeking to replace existing buildings or to build on open spaces such as St Anne's Ashton Gardens. Many historic buildings have already been demolished and replaced with larger modern constructions of generic design, which can be found in many other parts of the country. For example the former headquarters of the Football League, in art deco style, was demolished and replaced with a block of flats. A number of open spaces have also been built on, including part of Fylde Rugby Club's ground. The Football League is an organisation representing 72 professional football clubs in England and Wales, and runs the oldest professional football league competition in the world. ...

In 2005 a property development company submitted a proposal for a 2,800 apartment development called Lytham Quays, to be built on industrial brown-field sites in the east of Lytham. This proposal was rejected by the council's development control committee after 98.4% of the population voted against the development in a poll organised by the local press. The "Defend Lytham" pressure group opposed the development. Objections included predictions of a loss of industrial land, increases in traffic congestion, and increased demands on local schools and health services. Environmental objections were also raised, given that the site is in an area prone to flooding and next to an important wildfowl habitat. The developers submitted a substantially smaller proposal for 260 dwellings which was approved in May 2006 and which is now under construction.

In St Annes, another group of developers succeeded in gaining planning permission to build a block of flats on the site of a derelict children's home in the sand dunes to the north of St Annes. This plan was resisted by local campaigners, as a result of which the council initially refused planning permission, but their decision was overturned on appeal to the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister, and building work is now nearing completion.

Wildlife The Ribble estuary and sands of St Annes and Lytham are an Important Bird Area, mainly as a feeding ground for Waders during winter and spring. Birds such as Knot, Dunlin, Sanderling and Bar-tailed Godwit occur in flocks numbering several thousand and the total number of wintering birds exceeds 100,000. Flocks of Pink-footed Goose are commonly seen during the winter months as they fly over St Annes between their feeding grounds around Southport and Over-Wyre.
