Waterloo Road slices through the South Shore area of Blackpool and comes with its own micro-community
It's one of the town's oldest streets and is an important shopping district of independent stores and pubs. It meets the promenade at one end and Spen Corner at Oxford Road junction. It's also residential in parts. These pictures sweep through history right back to the 1920s to the 1990s. Some great memories.
