Tucked away in rural Fylde, Poulton is a typical Lancashire market town and has seen many changes over the years, whilst still retaining some village-like charm.
These photos depict life in Poulton from the turn of the 20th century until the 1960s. There are also a couple of photos of neighbouring Staining.
