Blackpool’s Past – A local history forum

Local History Books

An excellent book full of superb early Blackpool photographs in brilliant detail

All the pictures in this book have appeared on a Facebook page, but sadly in poor quality, and no credit given to the author

This official publication offers superb quality images, detailed captions and much more by the local historian, Ted Lightbown

The profits from proceeds of the sale of this book went to a worthy charity

Blackpool Through Time

A recent publication full of superb old pictures of Blackpool

This publication was compiled by two dedicated authors and the result is a brilliant book full of rarely seen images

Having this book in your home/office is easier to look at than a Facebook page

Blackpool Through Time is a unique insight into the illustrious history of this part of the country. Reproduced in full colour, this is an exciting examination of Blackpool, the famous streets and the famous faces, and what they meant to the people of this seaside resort throughout the 19th and into the 20th Century

Looking beyond the exquisite exterior of these well-kept photos, readers can see the historical context in which they are set and through the author’s factual captions for every picture, and carefully-selected choice of images, the reader can achieve a reliable view of this town’s history

Readers are invited to follow a timeline of events and watch the changing face of this lively town, as the authors guide us through the streets of Blackpool

There is something for everyone here, whether they have lived in the area all their lives, or whether they are just visiting this resort for the first time. Blackpool Through Time also shows how photography has continually evolved to keep up with an ever-changing society
