Poulton in pictures: A market town steeped in history

There was a pub on every corner in Poulton, not dissimilar to today with its lively social scene of restaurants and cafe bars

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.
