We’re talking car parks – the multi-storeys, the tiny ones which have served a purpose for derelict land and the ones which are prime parking areas for Blackpool’s attractions. Some of these are still around but many have disappeared from our landscape to make way for either newer versions or for a completely different purpose. And the cars… check out the cars. Ford Escorts, Sapphires and earlier ones such as Hillman Imps and Vauxall Vivas.
