ACD - Mon 13/02/1851 - RPSGB. RHRGB Vol.10 The North West p215 confirms this date. CPLGB p24 gives 13/01/1851.
C and DRS record Fleetwood (1st) as CL 1883 and make no reference to the station featured here. See Fleetwood Station Jct. - Fleetwood (2nd).
To avoid the expense of doubling, given the nature of the original line, running partly on stone embankments and partly on piles, a new single line further inland was built. The original intention was to retain the embankment line for 'up' trains only, but problems with the foundations forced complete closure. See RHRGB ref above for a detailed account.
