Poulton-le-Fylde has a long and varied history.  It is recorded in the Domesday survey of 1086, along with over 60 other small communities in Amounderness, a remote and sparsely populated rural area of north-west Lancashire.  Most of these communities still exist.

From its earliest days Poulton served as a market town, supplying goods and services needed by the outlying farms and communities.  The ancient parish church dedicated to St Chad stands at the head of the Market Place.

Whilst retaining its medieval street layout, house building and other developments made over recent years have changed Poulton from the small rural market town of the early twentieth century to the urban community of today.  Inevitably some of the town’s historical legacy has been lost but some elements of its past still remain – if you know where to look!
