Escœuilles

Escœuilles (French pronunciation: [ekœj]; West Flemish: Skole) is a commune in the Pas-de-Calais department in the Hauts-de-France region of France.

A farming village situated 15 miles (24 km) west of Saint-Omer, at the junction of the N42 and D216 roads.

The village name first appears in 1084 as Seules. In the year 1200, it had the name Esquelles, then Eskelle, Scules, Escueles, Esquieulles, Ecueil, Escoueuille and finally Escoeuilles.

The Chemin de fer de Boulogne à Bonningues (CF de BB) opened a station at Escœuilles on 22 April 1900. Passenger services were withdrawn on 31 December 1935. They were reinstated in November 1942. The CF de BB closed in 1948.
