| Poulton-Le-Sands was one of three fishing hamlets which eventually came together to become what is now Morecambe. The other two were Bare and Torrisholme but these will be covered in more detail elsewhere (See under 'The Original Settlements). Poulton was first mentioned in the Domesday book as Poltune. It later became Poulton and remained this way for a number of centuries. It was towards the end of the eighteenth or the beginning of the nineteenth century that the Le-Sands was added. This was to distinguish it from another Poulton located near Fleetwood which is now Poulton-Le-Fylde. |
