About

Squires Gate sits on the southern edge of Blackpool, between the seafront and the airport site. The neighbourhood is made up of terraces and semi-detached houses, small parades of shops and a number of caravan parks backing on to the promenade. The main runway at Blackpool Airport runs along the eastern side of the area, with airport buildings and hangars visible from some streets; flight training activity and occasional light aircraft movements remain part of the local scene.

Local transport includes Squires Gate railway station on the Blackpool South–Preston line, providing regular services into the Fylde and beyond, and bus routes that run along the coast road. Community facilities include primary schools, sports fields and social clubs used by residents. The mix of coastal access, straight roads leading to the airport perimeter and close rail links gives Squires Gate a clear, working relationship with both sea and air transport.
