About

Churchtown is a residential district located inland from Blackpool's coastal core. It consists primarily of housing estates built throughout the 20th century, with a mix of semi-detached and terraced homes. The area is centred around the historic St. John the Evangelist's Church, which gives the district its name.

The layout is defined by several main roads like Church Street and Preston Old Road, which channel traffic through the area. Local amenities are focused on these routes, featuring convenience stores, takeaways, and several pubs. A notable local feature is the presence of the Marton Mere Local Nature Reserve on its eastern edge, providing a large wetland habitat distinct from the seaside environment.
