These great photos show Bispham in its earlier days
From its quaint era as a quiet village through its development as a trued community, the photos cover the decades back to the turn of the century. They are a real treat.

Worshippers gathered at the old Bethel Chapel, for the final Harvest Thanksgiving at this site, on 25 September 1911. The old chapel stood in Bispham Village close to where the roundabout is now, between Red Bank Road and Cavendish Road . The congregation moved to what is now Bispham United Reformed Church, Cavendish Road, in 1912. Photo: submit
