The building, believed to date from the mid to late 19th century and one of the town’s oldest, looks unstable and cracks can be seen in the brick work.

Wyre Council said it needed to act in the interests of public safety.

A spokesman said: “Dock Street in Fleetwood has been closed today between Albert Street and Adelaide Street due to an unsafe building.

A Fleetwood resident, who took a photo of the building said: “It has been a fine looking building in its time and is probably of historic interest, but it looks like it might fall down at any minute.

"Someone came along today and cordoned it off so there are obviously some concerns about it.”

The owner of the building has not been divulged by the council.

It is thought to be one Fleetwood’s 44 Grade II listed buildings.
