Join Poulton Historical and Civic Society to learn more about the history of the area. They create displays, share news and invite information from other experts in their field.
It’s a historic place with a fascinating heritage and much of it is still there to see today – if you know where to look!
Since its beginning in 1981 the Society has built up an important collection of material relating to the history of Poulton-le-Fylde and the surrounding area, through the generosity of many local people.
Members of the Committee are always pleased to know of any material of local interest. For example photographs, books, maps or newspapers which you could copy, loan or donate to the Society.
The archives are used extensively for research into the history of the area. And for exhibitions and displays promoting the history of Poulton.

Trying to find contact details as I have been sorting through some boxes from my late mothers house and discovered a minute book from the Poulton Festival Committee covering the period 1938 to 1955 plus minutes covering the period 1963 to 1982. Would they be of sufficient value to place in the archive?
I’ve forwarded your message on to see if anyone would like them. They’ll contact you direct.

Hello,
This may not be in the correct place for this question but I cannot see any other contact areas.
Question: what happened to the iron Columbian printing press which was in Poulton Le Fylde teacher training college during 1972 and 1975?
Image of similar is here—

Why this question?——- I was at Poulton teacher training college which was down the Breck (Brek?) opposite the pub, from 1972 to 1975 and regularly used this press for screen printing and I’ve wondered what happened to it. I sincerely hope that it was not scrapped.
Hope you can help.

Now that is a very good question. Let’s see if we can find out the answer using the collective local knowledge of Facebook! I’ll ask your question on our Visit Poulton page.
