STATUE FOR SIR PETER HESKETH FLEETWOOD

Margaret Daniels posted on Jun 12 2017

Fleetwood Civic Society, and the Rotary Club of Feetwood, with help from Fleetwood Museum and others are trying to raise funds to erect a full size bronze statue of Sir Peter Hesketh Fleetwood.
Without Sir Peter there would be no Fleetwood and at the present time there is no recognition of him in the town he founded except a street named Hesketh Place. In 1847 donations were raised to put a statue in the Euston Gardens, but the money was used for The Testimonial School in Fleetwood .

This will cost £40,000 and most of it is already pledged from donors and charities. We just need a final push to the finish line and so we are offering local people and businesses an opportunity to be involved in this project by supporting us with a donation no matter how small.

Donations can be made direct to the bank account at RBS stating
pay to ‘Sir Peter’

or by cheque made payable to Fleetwood Sir Peter’s Statue and posted to Mrs. Y Johnstone
