The street is named for an "ancient"[1][2] Tythe Barn which used to stand where the Tithebarn Street entrance and exit to the Teanlowe Centre car park is today.[3][4] It was demolished around 1970.[1]

The home at 26 Tithebarn Street is a former farrier's cottage, dating to 1844.[5]

Tithebarn Street is part of Wyre Council's Poulton-le-Fylde Conservation Area Appraisal.[6][7]

Public transport

Nearby Ball Street's bus stop stand one is served by Blackpool Transport routes 5, 5C and 12, while stand two is served by Transpora routes 24 and 523, Blackpool Transport's 74 and 75, Preston Bus's 76 and Stagecoach's 42.[8] The two stands are to make up for there being no opposing bus stops, given that Ball Street and Tithebarn Street (in this section) are one-way.
