Background
History
In Fleetwood, a school for fisherman was opened in 1892. In 1987, the nautical college merged with Blackpool and Fylde College, becoming Blackpool and The Fylde College. In 2009, it opened a new facility. In 2013, it had four main campuses and 70 learning centers. It had around 16,000 students. In 2025, it had 9 locations listed on its website. Also in 2025, the city of Blackpool finalized a plan to begin construction on a new campus for the university in its town centre, meant to bring up to 3,000 people and set to open in 2027. The city had started purchasing land for the project in 2024, with both Blackpool and the Fylde College and Lancaster University to use the buildings.
