Poulton west to north curve opened in 1899 to provide a double track direct link from Blackpool to Fleetwood between Poulton Junction No.4 and No.5. In 1908 a station was opened, and officially named Poulton Curve Halt. It closed in 1952, although passenger trains passed through for a further 12 years. 58 years after closure these are the remains of the east side platform looking south along the old trackbed towards Blackpool.
