teanlowe Shopping Centre was a real attraction for Poulton.
It enhanced shopping facilities with a new, modern, all-under-cover shopping mall and people from across the Fylde would enjoy a shopping trip there.
Shops came and went over the years, including Ethel Austin. It also housed nightclubs including The Hub and Peppermint Lounge. In 2016 it underwent it’s biggest redesign since its 70s construction at a cost of £6.7m –incorporating the new Booths store. But for now these images will take you back to earlier times and are bound to stir the memories.
