The Lancashire & North West Magazine

We start this month with a deliciously insightful look at Michael Wan’s Mandarin and Wok Inn. Lancaster-based Jonny Murton and Caroline Lavelle from Murton & Co are about to embark on an exciting retrofit journey. Janet Whitwell-Caisey tells us about how her years of experience in nursing helped to acknowledge the need for a life concierge. We visit Fleetwood Market, an award-winning traditional market in Fleetwood. There is also the newly renovated Market House Studios to explore with commercial gallery space, an accessible studio, community studios and even a dedicated Gallery in the Main Hall to enjoy some beautiful professional artworks with the opportunity to purchase - there is so much to discover at Fleetwood Market! Our featured towns this month are Colne, Garstang and Northwich. And of course, as always, we have features on homes, health, delicious recipes, fashion, entertainment, fascinating history, and a bit of wildlife and more - all in our July issue.
