Lancashire Shorts
Description: The Lancashire flag is the flag of the historic county of Lancashire. The Red Rose of Lancaster is a symbol for the House of Lancaster, immortalised in the verse "In the battle for England's head/York was white, Lancaster red" (referring to the 15th century War of the Roses). An unofficial Lancashire flag, a red rose on a white field, was never registered. When an attempt was made to register it with the Flag Institute, it was found that this flag had already been registered by the town of Montrose, Angus, several hundred years earlier with the Lyon Office. As the Flag Institute will not register two flags of the same design within the United Kingdom, Lancashire's official flag was registered — in 2008 — as a red rose on a gold field....
Description: Residents and visitors walk along the winding paths that connect various brick buildings across the landscape. Individuals cycle on roads past tall street lamps while others socialize in small groups near local dwellings.

Description: The Lobster Pot was one of Blackpool's finest restaurants for decades and was alleged to be haunted. Ghosts aside, the restaurant was famous for its seafood with a menu that wasn't your typical English seaside fare. Upscale dishes like lobster thermidor and potted shrimps would be served with a pot of tea and a plate of buttered bread. The establishment was popular with locals and tourists alike, with many folks making a point to stop by Blackpool just for a chance to dine at The Lobster Pot before continuing on with their travels.
