Lytham St Annes came out on top as the poshest with locals voting for the town more times than any others mentioned.

One local said: “Lytham is the only decent one” while another simply commented: “Lytham St Anne's.”

Visit Lancashire shared some information about the seaside location, writing: “Just two miles from the bright lights of Blackpool, Lytham and St Annes, Fylde, are worlds apart in both character and atmosphere.

“The dual seaside towns are nestled along a picturesque stretch of coastline lined with well tended lawns, a boating lake and pretty parks.

“With an expansive sandy beach (which you can view online), Victorian pier, historic windmill, a 'royal' golf course and stylish independent shops, the dual seaside towns of Lytham and St Annes continue to remind us why we all love the British seaside so much.”
