Show more "There has been a Pensions Board Scheme at Fosbrooke House, Lytham St Annes for more than 50 years, named after the Venerable H. L. Fosbrooke, Archdeacon of Lancaster, a member of the Board and, for a short time, its Chairman. The Scheme is situated in a beautiful location near to Lytham St Annes on the Ribble Estuary.

In 2004, the Scheme was rebuilt with accommodation especially designed to meet the needs of older people, while at the same time maintaining the Italianate design of the original house and gardens. It now appears as two interlinked villas with 31 flats on four floors. All flats have extensive views over the wide Ribble Estuary, which is famed for its sunsets and on a clear day the distant mountains of North Wales can be seen." Show less
