More about this scene
Recent restoration has beautified St John's, the parish church, which has long played an important role in the Fylde. It was the only church before 1840. Whereas Marton and South Fylde worshippers had to bring their dead to St Chad's, the parish church of Poulton, people from the new town of Fleetwood had to come to Meadows Avenue, which used to be called Parr's Lane; the punishment stocks stood by the church gate.
