==History==
Stalmine is thought to mean the pool or stream at the mouth of the river, from the [[Old English]] {{lang|ang|steall}} and the [[Old Norse]] {{lang|non|mynni}}. Staynall is less certain. The second element likely means hollow from the Old English {{lang|ang|holh}}, with the first element either ON {{lang|non|steinn}} / OE {{lang|ang|stan}} meaning stone or perhaps a similar personal name.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Ekwall |first=Eilert |title=The place-names of Lancashire |url=https://archive.org/details/placenamesoflanc00ekwauoft |publisher=Manchester University Press |year=1922 |pages=158–159 |access-date=29 Dec 2021}}</ref>
Stalmine appears in the [[Domesday Book]] as belonging to [[Tostig Godwinson]], held as part of his [[Preston, Lancashire|Preston]] [[Fief|fee]]. In the 1300s the name ''Little Staynolf'' was used for Staynall, while ''Great Staynolf'' was the area now known as Stanah across the river in [[Thornton, Lancashire|Thornton]]. The chapel of Stalmine was first mentioned about 1200 and a cemetery was consecrated in 1230. The chapel was rebuilt in 1806 when it was renamed St James.<ref name="AHOTCOL53231"/>
Prior to the development of [[Fleetwood|Fleetwood Docks]], [[Wardleys Creek|Wardleys]] was one of old docks on the [[River Wyre|Wyre Estuary]]. From as early as the last decade of the 16th century, goods from Russia were being unloaded here. In 1708 a [[customs]] office was established at [[Poulton-le-Fylde]] in connection with this dock and another at [[Skippool]]. Customs Officers would meet ships at the mouth of the river and guide them to the docks. Several warehouses had been built by the 1820s, supplying the textile spinning industry at [[Kirkham, Lancashire|Kirkham]], and also a ship-yard which was primarily used for repair work.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Porter |first=John |title=History of the Fylde of Lancashire |publisher=W.
