Set back from main drag of Blackpool’s tourist areas, South Shore is its own proud community. It has several high streets and shops that many people will remember back to the days where they did their every day shopping, almost from their doorsteps. As it’s just a stone’s throw from the beach and in the shadows of two of Blackpool’s largest tourist attractions – the Pleasure Beach and Sandcastle - it’s still a thriving area.
No date on this photo of Waterloo Road but it looks like late 1980s. Waterloo Road market, One Hour Films - remember having photos developed in an hour? and Entwistle Green estate agents Photo: National World
This was the corner of Lytham Road and Waterloo Road in the early 1990s. Burtons bread shop, Blackpool Cabbage Patch, another greengrocers - so many shopping memories for those who lived there at the time Photo: National World
