Poulton No 5 Junction
The site of Poulton No.5 signal box and the junction for Poulton Curve, the direct line to Blackpool North, which went right at this point. This view looks south from Gerrard's Terrace bridge and the beige coloured house has been built on the formation of the curve. Some time after final passenger trains in 1970 the line north from here was singled and this home signal protected the single line to Burn Naze. The surviving double track section curved left from here to Poulton No.3 box by the station. The two tracks are still in place but even this poor view of the line would be impossible with summer foliage. 1st January 2020. See image 7178 for the view north from this point.
