Poulton’s origins date back to at least the 11th century and its name reflects its location on the Fylde Coast as ‘farmstead by a pool’ - Skippool Creek. The town retains much of its historic character, including St Chad’s Church which dates back to medieval times. These photos go back to the turn of the 20th Century to the 1980s
