Victoria & Norcross is a mixed residential ward in the borough of Wyre, on the flat coastal plain of Lancashire in north‑west England. Sitting close to the Fylde coastline it forms part of the suburban and semi‑rural fringe between the larger seaside towns of Fleetwood and Blackpool, with a patchwork of housing, small green fields and local shops rather than any heavy industry.
The area has a quietly local character, with community centres, pubs and volunteer groups, and many residents commute to nearby centres such as Preston and Blackpool for work. Historically the ward reflects the Victorian and 20th‑century expansion of the Fylde, and today its economy is driven by retail, services and the seasonal boost from the neighbouring coast while retaining pockets of agricultural land and suburban tranquillity.
