Never heard of Poulton myself, but Poulton-le-Fylde (full name) is a town of around 18,000 people. On the maps it looks almost like a suburb of Blackpool, but apparently it's a distinct town.
(Of course, if they'd used the full Poulton-le-Fylde in the article, its proximity to Blackpool would have been obvious...)

Police have issued a picture of a man they want to speak to after a brutal taxi rank attack.
Officers from Lancashire Constabulary say they are 'determined to find out who he is' following an incident in Poulton.
An altercation broke out at the taxi area on Ball Street when a man and woman have been challenged after trying to skip the queue.
A man has then pushed one of the women and punched another in the face. One of the victims suffered a dislocated jaw as a result.
The 'shocking' assault happened at around 1am on Sunday, October 3.
Police have today (December 24) released a picture of the man they want to identify as enquiries continue.
PC Craig Brown from Fleetwood Police said: “To think that a group of women complaining about two people jumping a queue ended up being assaulted is shocking.
“We have been on with a number of enquiries to trace this man but unfortunately haven’t been able to.
"We are determined to find out who he is and so I am asking anyone who may recognise him to make contact with us.”
