Wesham is a small village in the borough of Fylde in Lancashire, England, sitting just to the east of Kirkham and within easy reach of the coastal resort of Blackpool and the city of Preston. It is served by Kirkham and Wesham railway station, which keeps the village well connected for commuters and visitors.
Historically the settlement grew from an agricultural base and expanded with the arrival of the railway; today the local economy mixes small shops, light industry and leisure tourism, notably the nearby Ribby Hall Village holiday complex. The village retains a close-knit community feel with local clubs and a village hall, while many residents commute to larger centres for work and services.
