Pebble pavement in Queen Street, Lytham

A section of pavement formed of multi-coloured pebbles, predominantly dark grey, pink, white and blue, running along part of the east side of Queen Street and considered to be of early-mid-C19 date with later repairs. It is composed of beach pebbles laid thin side up on sand and inlaid with various patterns.

The length of pebble pavement fronts Nos.12 &13 Queen Street and is edged with granite setts at the roadside. It comprises five designs of light-coloured stones each within a frame of similar stones and inlaid on a background of largely dark grey pebbles. The designs, from south to north, comprise a candelabra with good colour detail in red and blue of its lights, a heart formed by a double row of white pebbles with a single inside row, a small white star over a mound possibly representing a hill, a simple design considered to represent a tree or shrub, and an elaborate crown with a date of 1854 in an adjacent smaller frame.
