Relocating to Lytham

Hi Babs we have a couple of members in the Lytham area . We had a meet up a couple of months ago. I live a few miles away so can probably answer a few of your questions ? It is a lovely area.

Thanks Seasider I was wondering if I would get a reply! We are looking at property on the internet just to get some ideas. We will be visiting the area in Nov to get a feel for the place. I am so glad you gave a positive response I feel quite excited!
Thank you

We spent a day in Lytham while on holiday and were really impressed with the area and all there was to see.. the buses looked plentiful too and lots of nice coffee/cafe type places. Not like we live there but it certainly looked nice .

Hi tanith thanks for your comments. Everyone is very positive about Lytham which is wonderful, we will of course do our own research too but I feel we are on the right track.
Thanks again

Much of moving related stress comes from managing all of the logistics, like leaving your current home, and finding a new one. Keep to do lists for both your departure and arrival locations so that you can stay on top of everything. www.essayscouncil.com

Sure you will love Lytham. Good mix of properties and prices. Near to motorway networks and Manchester airport for your long haul flights. Half an hour from magnificent walking in the Lake District. Good mix of shops and public transport. I think you will find everything you need there and if you like ballroom dancing you are handy for Blackpool towers magnificent ballroom. Come up to the north west and suss us out. We are very friendly.

I am so glad I posted this! All positives which is great. I was brought up in Lancashire and though I haven't lived there for a very long time we have visited the area regularly. DH comes from Middlesbrough so not far from there also. We have lot's of family - though not our Children - in the area. So cochrane I already know how friendly you are I have to say it's one of the attractions
We have danced in the Tower ballroom - before DH had knee problems. I am excited about the move and hope that our experience of moving around with the services - albeit a long time ago now - will help us.
So thank you for your good advice Masseytruth I will keep you all informed of our progress.

I was brought up in St Annes and would love to return! Having visited relatively recently it still looks a good place to be - mind you the tide does go out an awful long way so it barely qualifies as seaside for much of the day Lytham used to be regarded as rather smarter and more genteel but that was over 50 years ago...

Reported by me too.

Well as some of you know we didn't get to Lytham after all! But we are in Lancashire and have been for 6 weeks. We decided to move nearer to our respective families and also Manchester airport for our flights to see my daughter in the U.S.A.
Lovely Lytham is 29 mins away by car and we have visited twice already and have a beach hut booked for a day when my children and GDs are here in a couple of weeks. Hope for☀️ Interesting to see their reaction to all beach and no sea after being in Devon for years ??
I was supposed to go to the N/W meet up last week but life got in the way! I'm sure you all enjoyed it - maybe next time.

We have another meet up on Aug 4th if you're interested Babs. There's something on the NW meet up thread. Hope you can come.

What's this on an old thread?? Not opened link.

Sounds "iffy"!! I haven't either, just reported. Lytham might be more mysterious than I had imagined

Lytham is heavenly, a parallel universe. Babs relocated to a different town in the end.

Not a blog but some engineering training institute. Why anybody should waste a nanosecond advertising it on GN is beyond me. but an abuse of our site.

Blimey looks like another one. Reported

What is it about Lytham that gets them crawling out of the woodwork ?
