Topping Street is not one of the longest shopping streets in Blackpool but was one of the busiest back in the day.
These pictures revisit an array of thriving shops, offices, restaurants and pubs which you may remember in an area which is tucked away from the main shopping district. Deansgate is also included – remember Steals?
