Starr Gate

Starr Gate is a suburb in the South Shore district of Blackpool in the county of Lancashire, England.

[citation needed] "Gate" (Geat in Old English) means "Way", taken from the Old Norse Gat - an opening or passage.

The southern terminal loop of the Blackpool Tramway is located at Starr Gate,[1] along with the Starr Gate tram depot[2] from which trams run up the coast into central Blackpool and to Fleetwood.

Starr Gate is also immediately adjacent to Blackpool International Airport.

From May to September 1973, a hovercraft provided a transport service from the tram terminus to Southport.
