Historic Fleetwood restaurant could be redeveloped into housing as price tag drops for The Trafalgar

Fleetwood’s oldest restaurant, on the market because of retirement, could be converted into residential apartments once it has sold.

The Trafalgar Restaurant on the corner of North Albert Street and Kent Street was originally put up for sale in February last year at £325,000 - but it’s now £210,000.

Estate agents Unique, of Lord Street, is handling the sale and say it has the ‘relevant permission for residential apartments.’

It’s a sizeable plot with three floors and centred in the old, traditional part of the town.

On their website, it says it comes to the market as a ‘blank canvas, ready to develop with the correct permisions’

It could also be sold as a going concern.

Known for its fish and seafood cuisine, The Trafalgar has been run for many years by Russell Smith with his wife Delyse and his brother Aaron and wife Andrea.

However, they are now planning to retire.

The Trafalgar has long been noted as one of the best on the Fylde Coast and has been operating for nearly 60 years - a firm favourite for diners in Fleetwood.
