These photos capture some of those precious memories – the special times with friends and family, the places, the things you did and people you remember. They are the essence of what Blackpool is all about and celebrate decades of our fabulous resort. Graham Nadin summed it up nicely: “Blackpool is just one living holiday here. You work then go have fun on your door step - awesome town!”

Jeannette Abosetta recalled getting a 'backy' off one of the lads on their bikes and spending all day in the Fun House. She remembered one day watching drunk lads roll around the barrels with money flying out of their pockets. "Helped them pick it all up except enough for a pie and a drink!"
This photo shows those barrels, only this time with a different group of visitors enjoying themselves Photo: submit
