Church Street, Poulton-le-Fylde

__TOC__

Church Street is a historic street in the market town of Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancashire, England. It runs for about , from Ball Street in the north to Market Place in the south. An entrance to the Teanlowe Centre shopping precinct is located where Church Street merges into Market Place. The street was pedestrianised in 1983.

The eastern side of the street forms the western boundary of the raised graveyard of St Chad's Church, for which Church Street is named. Around 1910, the row of buildings lining the southern side of Ball Street, and those on the eastern side of Church Street (including one known as the Twenty Steps), were demolished, resulting in today's unobstructed view of St Chad's. Now, between the northern end of the pedestrianised Church Street to the west and the Thatched House (built in 1907) in the east, there are two bus stops along the paved area. Lancashire County Council & Egerton Lea Consultancy (2005), p. 22

The Old Town Hall public house, built in 1910, stands on Church Street. The Bay Horse Inn stood on the site from 1869.

In 1926, Church Street was listed in '' The London Gazette'' as one of the streets of Poulton under which a mains electricity supply was to be installed within a two-year period.

Church Street is part of Wyre Council's Poulton-le-Fylde Conservation Area Appraisal.
