Garstang

Garstang is a small town in England situated on the A6 between Lancaster and Preston, a short distance from Knott End-on-Sea. King Charles II is alleged to have spent the night in a town centre pub during the English Civil War. The most famous person to hail from Garstang is an actor who once played a juror on Brookside.

In November 2001 Garstang declared itself "the world's first Fairtrade Town", influencing many other towns, cities and counties around the UK to work towards the same goal. The Fairtrade Town status was renewed by the Fairtrade Foundation on August 13, 2003.
