This is the story of how and why a small Lancashire village on the
banks of the River Wyre became a bustling port, market and textile
town in the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries. It is a tale of
life, work, adventures and voyages, using newly discovered material
to tell of the ships, mariners, merchants, farmers and people of
Poulton and the harbours of Wyer Water. Why and how did a small
market town like Poulton become such an important port? Did many
young Skippool and Poulton men leave to become mariners, and did
they return? And what is the legacy for the town today? The answers
are all here in Graham Evans' fascinating and detailed book, a real
gem for those interested in Poulton, England's maritime past, and
local and family history.
