The name Poulton-le-Fylde is derived from the River Wyre, situated at the bottom of the Breck at Skippool. Poulton means "farmstead by a pool or creek". '-le-Fylde was added to the name in 1842 when the penny post began, to stop local post mistakenly being sent north to an-other village of Poulton-le-Sands, now part of Morecambe.
Poulton's famous five antiquities are regarded as one of the finest groups in Britain today. The cross is the oldest of the group, with its base steps forming the seat for the stocks. The Market Cross was a sign in mediaeval. The Stocks in Poulton were used for offenders in detention, who suffered the indignity and humiliation of being pelted with rotten eggs and vegetables whilst secured within the stocks.
The fish slab would be used for cutting fish on markets days, as would the whipping post when criminals were ordered to be publicly flogged and their wrongdoings.
Poulton has probably seen more change in the twentieth century than any other part of its history, but it is remarkable how that change has brought it back to being partly the town that is was.
