Ansdell is situated between St Annes and Lytham on the Fylde Coast. It very much has a characterer of its own - but as far as features are concerned Fairhaven Lake, the White Church and Woodlands road shopping centre are main features. Fylde Rugby club is prominent in the area too, a couple of decent pubs, fairly modern housing and that's your lot. On Channing road the Unitarian Church sits, it reflects the local housing, mostly bungalows with its clean tidy appearance. The bungalows and the houses appear to be about the same age.
I attended a wedding here and although I was not the photographer I had the opportunity to photograph too. I have included a few pictures of the church as well as the memorial shot with the transcription.
A record of the memorial is held by the War Memorials Archive Ref: 54912
This is the transcription of the Memorial:
