I asked our readers which pubs in Blackpool they thought were the best to ever exist.

Some are a blast from the past whilst others are still very much a huge part of the Blackpool pub circuit. Here’s a selection of the pubs they suggested…

Richard Pegg: "They were all good from The Hop to the Bellvue, you can't say which was best" David Anthony Potts agreed: "The Hop Inn without a shadow of a doubt"

7. Best pubs ever
