Blackpool Then & Now
by John Burke
For over 200 years, Blackpool has been Britain's number-one holiday
resort - brash, noisy and unashamedly full of fun. Progress is
Blackpool's motto, and here we can see for ourselves the contrast
between the Edwardian resort and the modern one. Blackpool has
been enjoyed by the millions of visitors who come every year to sample
the beach, the fun fair, the Tower and the razz-ma-tazz of the famous
Golden Mile. Victorian and Edwardian postcards here reveal the
Blackpool of our great-great grandparents, set alongside specially
taken views of today's refurbished modern resort town setting itself to
compete against the rest of the world's holiday destinations.
