Two main thoroughfares are depicted in these great old photos.
Dickson Road and Talbot Road meet in the centre of town and are among the oldest streets in our town. Dickson Road which backs on to some of Blackpool’s biggest hotels is a community in itself with shops, businesses and guest houses along the length of the road to Gynn Square. And Talbot Road which is undergoing yet another transformation was one of the town’s very first streets. It’s home to the train station, town centre pubs, clubs and shops and cuts through to the more residential side near Layton. These brilliant pictures take us on a journey from the early 1900s to the noughties.
Dickson Road was once called Warbreck Road, as it was in this picture. The photo is taken looking from Warley Road towards the old Duke of Cambridge Hotel which can be seen at the far end of the road, 1920s Photo: Submit
