Few towns conjure up such stirring impressions as Blackpool. Cheerfully
unpretentious and brash with all the trimmings one would expect of a
traditional seaside resort, Blackpool remains the iconic resort town,
but there is more to its richly coloured history than you might think.
This absorbing collection of images reveals the changing face of the
town during the past century.These images help highlight Blackpool's
remarkable transformation from a fledgling resort. Aspects of everyday
life are featured here, including social occasions, the pleasure
steamers that once plied their trade from the piers, seaside
entertainment and old cherished street scenes of bygone Blackpool. This
book is a valuable pictorial history, which will awaken nostalgic
memories for some readers, while offering a unique glimpse of the past
for others.
