Singleton village and its church

Singleton is a little village with a strong local community. It is however somewhere that you go through. I was on my way to Poulton from Wrea Green. It does cut out a great chunk of busy roads - and it's a nice drive too. The church is lovely, situated just around the bend from the Fire Station. It actually has a fire station! Its made of wood!

However I stopped, discovered a lost, or at least a misplaced, treasure. photographed the memorials and the church and then carried onto Poulton. Not that it is great place to stop. 

Here are the photos. The originating pages are here and here. The Miller family is very prominent in this area there is also a pub called the Millers Arms.

For anyone with an interest in the Miller family this site is also of interest

The Lych Gate into the church.

The Church dedicated to St Anne

Looking towards the lych gate from the side of the church. The second gate is clearly visible. Apparently the second gate leads onto the land at Singleton hall. These seem to be flats but were once owned by the Miller family. In my early teacher days Singleton Hall was attached to Blackpool and the Fylde college. I did one session there. My wife was timetabled there in the late '80's and '90's

The lych gate towards Singleton Hall - got to revisit and photograph

Towards the Altar

The Font


This is the cross pedestal that I "discovered"
on my visit.

The wooden Firestation,
the road to the church is to the left.

Singleton Firestation. I believe it is now an electricity sub-station.
Surely it is a listed building.

Fire Station to the right. Church road to the right also.
The road to the left curls round and will ultimately join Garstang Road at what we call the Singleton Traffic lights

Lodge Lane

Almost facing Church road. Needs a bit of TLC

On Lodge Lane


Singleton Car Sales -Looks like it has been sold for building.

Info here
Built in 1924, the hall has been a focus of parish life ever since, but its use has reduced in recent years because of the building’s condition. The committee now needs to raise £275,000 to upgrade the building, which is in a Conservation Area, to provide the right venue for today’s activities.

The very elegant roof of the church.

The Sacred Heart Church Blackpool

This datastore page is linked to the memorial blog of the Sacred Heart Church in Blackpool. It is indeed ma magnificent piece of architercture. Very peaceful and seemingly a lot larger inside than it appears from outside. There is a history of the church here.

Here are the pictures. Some are duplicates of the memorial blog.








Thomas Swarbrick memorial





Blackpool Civic Trust
Church of the Sacred Heart
Opened on the 8th of December 1857 as the first Roman Catholic Church in Blackpool, services being previously held  in the nearby Railway Hotel.
the western part of the building was designed by the 20 year old architect Edward W. Pugin and was followed by the extension of the large octagonal extension in 1894
Despite its appearance, the building is of brick construction and is only faced with stonework.
the church interior has many interesting features including the pipes from the former Waterloo Cinema organ.

View from the south entrance. The town hall is the large building with the clock.. Clifton Hotel is to the right. Corporation building are to the left of the town hall. Where the painted shutter are is the remains of Yates Wine Lodge.

The Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes

Collection of photos taken at the opening of the "White Church" or our Lady of Lourdes.

The link to original Blogpage is here. There is much information on the original page.
