Little Marton windmill A Grade II Listed tower mill from the 1830s. This has only recently lost its sails and they are to be replaced. Much of the machinery is missing but there were four sets of stones and there is a replica of one set. The upper part of the tower contains more machinery but due to a shortage of volunteers there was no access above the stone floor - disappointing.

Watson Road Park, South Shore, Blackpool Towards the back is a multi-use games area or MUGA. The boundary beyond, in shadow, is Yeadon Way on its embankment – the line of a former railway.

"Yeadon Way is the main access into Blackpool for tourists. It is a converted railway linking the M55 (via a short stretch of A5230) to car parks near the beach. As a railway conversion it bridges over several roads without junctions." (See <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4666104">SD3133 : Bus stop, St Anne's Road, South Shore, Blackpool</a> ). "The railway conversion continues as Seasiders Way, though mostly at-grade, linking to more car parks. 
It is named after Harry Yeadon, a prominent civil engineer for Lancashire. Yeadon worked on the Preston Bypass and many other early motorways and then succeeded Sir James Drake as County Surveyor and Bridgemaster. As a retirement gift, his colleagues named this road, the only one under-construction at the time, after him."
