Everything changes all around us all of the time. The site of the Royal Oak Pub is a good example. It’s a prominent corner on the main road into town, directly opposite the Civic Centre.
At the corner of Breck Road and Station Road and closed for a long time, it was good to see the back of the derelict building. Thanks to our friend and photographer Mel Jones for these photos.
The changing face of Poulton today will eventually become the past history of tomorrow. It’s all interesting to look back on, it’s the social history of our times.
New Building on the site of the Royal Oak Pub
Now, in 2023, this large corner plot is occupied by the completed Royal Oak Apartments – a selection of 1 and 2 bedroom luxury flats.
Here’s the September 2022 view of the corner, as captured by Google Street View.
