This going to be pictures. Most of the pictures are self explanatory. The apply to the church only. This is a link back to the memorial page. I will return to this page in due time and add to the comments I find much of the restoration work OK ish - the thought of the church falling down does not bear thinking about. However the new brickwork is just unsympathetic. But wonderful church in a wonderful location. Go visit and leave a donation.

Surprising to see so many names on the WW2 memorials - Cleveleys grew as a seaside resort  between the wars.

 

Singleton village and its church

Singleton is a little village with a strong local community. It is however somewhere that you go through. I was on my way to Poulton from Wrea Green. It does cut out a great chunk of busy roads - and it's a nice drive too. The church is lovely, situated just around the bend from the Fire Station. It actually has a fire station! Its made of wood!
View LazyLikeSunday's Sites in a larger map  

However I stopped, discovered a lost, or at least a misplaced, treasure. photographed the memorials and the church and then carried onto Poulton. Not that it is great place to stop. 

Here are the photos. The originating pages are here and here. The Miller family is very prominent in this area there is also a pub called the Millers Arms.

For anyone with an interest in the Miller family this site is also of interest

The Lych Gate into the church.

The Church dedicated to St Anne

Looking towards the lych gate from the side of the church. The second gate is clearly visible. Apparently the second gate leads onto the land at Singleton hall. These seem to be flats but were once owned by the Miller family. In my early teacher days Singleton Hall was attached to Blackpool and the Fylde college. I did one session there. My wife was timetabled there in the late '80's and '90's

The lych gate towards Singleton Hall - got to revisit and photograph

Towards the Altar

The Font

This is the cross pedestal that I "discovered"
on my visit.

The wooden Firestation,
the road to the church is to the left.

Singleton Firestation. I believe it is now an electricity sub-station.
Surely it is a listed building.

Fire Station to the right. Church road to the right also.
The road to the left curls round and will ultimately join Garstang Road at what we call the Singleton Traffic lights

Lodge Lane

Almost facing Church road. Needs a bit of TLC

On Lodge Lane

Singleton Car Sales -Looks like it has been sold for building.

Info here
Built in 1924, the hall has been a focus of parish life ever since, but its use has reduced in recent years because of the building’s condition. The committee now needs to raise £275,000 to upgrade the building, which is in a Conservation Area, to provide the right venue for today’s activities.

The bowling green next to Singleton Parish Hall

The very elegant roof of the church.
