Fleetwood Museum is a local history and maritime museum in Fleetwood. The museum was originally the town’s Custom House and, completed in 1836, was one of the first buildings constructed in Fleetwood. Like much of the town it was designed by architect Decimus Burton. The building became the local town hall and is now a maritime museum. It has been designated a Grade II Listed Building by Historic England.
