The village was called "Treueles" in the Domesday Book and "Turuel" in 1242. At the time of the Norman invasion of England, it was held by Earl Tostig. It later came into the possession of the Earl of Derby. In Treales the Anglican parish church, Christ Church, is situated on Church Road. It was built in 1855 by Lord Stanley, when the Patron was the vicar of Kirkham. The church is now part of a benefice with Christ Church, Wesham. The village has a windmill, now converted to a private dwelling. The Derby Arms public house, situated on the corner of Kirkham Road and Church Road, has been designated a Grade II listed building since 9 June 1967. It was originally a farmhouse, dating from the early 18th century, with and early 19th-century additions. It is now been closed for some years and was sold to local developer, Pete Marquis Developments, in 2020. The development plans would involve the listed element of the building being retained, but converted into a new use of a community shop with two flats above. More recent extensions would be removed and six new houses built on the site.

Salwick

Salwick is a village between Kirkham and Preston in Lancashire, England. The village is largely rural and is an extension of the smaller Clifton to the south. It is in the borough of Fylde, and in the Parliamentary Constituency of Fylde, and forms part of the civil parish of Newton-with-Clifton. It is at grid reference SD466320, and is served by Salwick railway station. The area of "Clifton With Salwick" was in the Archdeaconry of Richmond in the Diocese of Chester. The toponymy of Salwick is unclear. The "wick" may come from Old English wic, meaning an earlier Romano-British settlement specialised in farming; but the "Sal(w)" element is unclear. Salwick is the home of the Springfields nuclear fuel manufacturing plant operated by Westinghouse Electric Company, which dominates the village. In November 2021 a poultry farm near Salwick was the location for an outbreak of Bird Flu (Avian influenza H5N1). Temporary control zones spanning 3 km (1.9 mi) and 10 km (6.2 mi) around the property were set up, spanning from Blackpool to Fulwood. The Hand and Dagger is a popular country pub, dating from about 1800, next to bridge 26 on the Lancaster Canal. The unusual name derives from the devices shown on the crest of the local Clifton family.
