Fylde's iconic windmill will re-open to visitors on Saturday in time for the Easter holidays.

Located on Lytham Green, the windmill was built in 1805 and is the landmark that everyone sees when they come to Lytham.

It was in operation until 1919 when a fire destroyed most of the machinery.

One of several mills across the Fylde coast, it was worked until 1919 when a fire destroyed most of the machinery.

Now the windmill has been rebuilt and renovated to make room for a permanent exhibition featuring exhibits depicting the social history of Lytham.

Among the various exhibits on display is a tableaux of Lytham life during the past 100 years.

Youngsters will enjoy the small dolls dressed in Victorian costume as well as the sand castle display with a traditional Punch and Judy tent.

Marilyn Adams, The Windmill Exhibition director, said: "The windmill makes for a great day out for all the family."

Other interesting exhibits include a glimpse into a shrimper's kitchen and a trip down memory lane to see what schooldays were like in the past.

The top two levels can be accessed by a spiral staircase where the workings of the structure are in full view.

Staffed by volunteers from the Lytham Heritage Group, the popular attraction will be open from April 4 -9 and April 11-15 during the Easter holidays, offering visitors and residents an educational family attraction with free admission.

The mill will then be open on Saturday May 12 and Sunday May 13 for national mills weekend and throughout the season from Saturday May 26 when it will be open Wednesday-Sunday until September 9.

Opening times for all days are between 10.30am and 4.30pm with an hour closure for lunch between 1pm and 2pm.
