They are all town centre images with a couple of surprises thrown in which are slightly out of the central district, but you will recognise them. The photos take us on a journey to the shops of the day, the redevelopment of buildings and streets how we once knew them. Some have changed beyond recognition. We still have a great town centre and much has been done to improve it with more to come. But delving into the past takes us back to familiar times...
In case you missed them: It’s now Blackpool’s Primark but do you remember it when it was like this in the 1990s?
