Description
Blackpool has undergone significant changes over the years, evolving from a few houses along its seven miles of "Golden Beach" in the mid-to-late 1700s to the popular seaside resort it is today. This transformation has seen many attractions and buildings come and go, including the Big Wheel, The Palace, Derby Baths, Yates's, and Central station. Lost Blackpool showcases the well-known landmarks that are no longer part of the landscape, as well as the shops, schools, pubs, cinemas, and churches found in the "other" Blackpool behind the seafront. This book provides a unique insight into the town's history and development, making it an appealing read for both residents and visitors. By exploring the many changes that have taken place over time, Lost Blackpool offers a fascinating look at how Blackpool has been shaped by its past, and what remains of its heritage today.
