Flower Delivery to Elswick with Clare Florist

Although Elswick is a rural village with slightly more than 1000 inhabitants, this civil parish in Lancashire County is certainly very interesting. It is located on the northwest English coast in the plain known as the Fylde. Elswick is located between two relatively big cities – Blackpool on the east and Preston on the north.

Because of the fertile soil in this region, Elswick had permanent inhabitants since ancient times. However, the first time when this village was mentioned in some official record was in 1086 when the famous Domesday Book was published. It is worth mentioning that this place was then known as Edeleswic and that this is not the only name of this place used in the past millennium. It can also be found as Ethellswyck, Etieswhic and Elleswyk. During the Norman Conquest the village belonged to Earl Tostig the younger brother of the Anglo-Saxon King Harold II. The village changed its rulers over time – it was owned by the lord of Freckleton in the 13th century and by Edmund Dudley in the 16th century. It is also interesting to mention that Elswick, Lancashire has a tradition in the field of healthcare facilities because in the early 20th century the government decided to build a sanatorium specially designed for smallpox sufferers. This facility was later turned into a healthcare center for tuberculosis sufferers.

Elswick is known for the moderate climate – the mild winters and cool summers. Most of the people living in Elswick are employed and some of them are still involved in the agriculture business.
