Blowing Sands

I've driven past this little white house a number of times over the years I've worked in Blackpool. Today I stopped to look at it more closely, in particular its blue plaque. It reads:

Blackpool Civic Trust
Heritage Trail
Blowing Sands
(Grade II Listed)

This cottage is one of the few remaining early agricultural dwellings on the area known as Blowing Sands, Marton Moss.

Soundings made in the 1930s revealed that there have been at least 11 periods in history when the sea shore occupied this site.

It now stands as a representation of several similar dwellings from the late 18th century in this area.
