General notes

The 87th Foot Ulster Regiment outside the Barracks.

The North Euston Hotel, which was originally opened in 1841, was sold to the Government in 1859 and became a school of musketry until reverting back to a hotel at the dawn of the 20th Century.

"Soon hutments and barracks were erected and Fleetwood became a garrison town, the hotel becoming known as the Euston Barracks......For a short time the Euston stood empty and derelict, but it was eventually purchased by a small group of businessmen who opened it as an hotel just before the turn of the century."

From 'Fleetwood: a town is born' by Bill Curtis, 1986 (p.47)
