21 bygone scenes to take you back to Blackpool in 1967

From Jimi Hendrix playing at the Opera House to a massive fire at one of the town centre’s biggest department stores, these pictures round up 1967.

There are some great scenes which go back to another era, check out the beach as it was in 1967 and there’s a picture of an elephant at a bar (yep!)
