Poulton Curve Halt
Nearly seventy years after it closed in 1952 the degraded remains of the two platforms at Poulton Curve Halt are still in situ. The curve opened in 1899 to allow direct running between Fleetwood and Blackpool North but finally closed in 1964, six years before all passenger services on the Poulton to Fleetwood branch. But for the low winter sun the catenary masts on the surviving line between Poulton and Blackpool North would be visible through the overbridge in this view from the old northbound platform.
