What I do know is that the Market Hall that sits in the market square (now known as The Memorial Gardens) was built in 1849 and opened in June of that year. The Market Hall came about as part of the Lytham Improvement Act of 1847 and was suggested by James Fair, Agent to the Clifton Estate at the time. In 1869 (by request of Cecily Clifton nee Lowther I think) the height of hall tower was increased to accommodate a clock. Here are some then and now photos. http://goo.gl/MJ4b2David Chalkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06685844965659984993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7569949892867300628.post-48479313931024901852012-10-16T08:23:07.765+01:002012-10-16T08:23:07.765+01:00Now that is interesting!

More questions than answers I'm afraid but surely not a co-incidnece; the triangles seem almost exactly the same shape.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
