More about this scene
The Punch Bowl Inn was formerly known as the Covered Cup, a reference to the three chalices contained within the emblem of the Butler family, who held the manor. St Helen's Church, from where this photograph was taken, aptly deserves its epithet 'Cathedral of the Fylde': it is a magnificent building whose earliest parts date from the 12th century.

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I was born and raised at the School House, next door to the Horns Inn, as was my father and his siblings. I was married in St Helens church in 1942. This photograph, taken in 1960, shows the "bypass" which enabled the village to be freed from the noise of heavy traffic. My grandfather was the headmaster at the school and is buried in the churchyard. My father suceeded him as head. This site truly brings back childhood memories of the past.
