FLEETWOOD . .
Fleetwood was once famous for it’s fishing fleet
And famous for it’s fishermen, the “strong men” (The three day millionaires)
It was one of the busiest fishing ports in the country
The fishermen would fish the cold North Atlantic waters
THE ORIGINS OF FISHERMAN’S FRIEND First formulated in 1865 by James Lofthouse For the local fishermen working in the North Atlantic fishing grounds Freezing conditions caused severe coughs, sore throats and nasal problems
James Lofthouse’s pharmacy in Fleetwood
Originally Fisherman’s Friend was a liquid
The North Atlantic is well known for rough seas
But glass bottles would often break during storms & rough seas
An alternative to the liquid in glass bottles was developed
A new formula with new ingredients
Lozenges in a paper package
ORIGINS OF FISHERMAN’S FRIEND FISHERMEN CAME TO THE PHARMACY FOR THESE, ASKING FOR PACKETS OF THEIR LITTLE “FRIENDS”, SOON THE LOZENGE BECAME KNOWN AS THE “FISHERMAN’S FRIEND”
Delivered by van to the trawlers in the dock
The business grew and new premises were needed.
New flavours were added
Again new premised were required as the business grew
This is the current site - but it looks different now.
Inside - but now looks very different.
