Blackpool Tower Circus’s 2023 season is now under way, so we thought we would mine the Gazette archives to conjure up a wide array of memories from decades past.

The versatility of this venue is obvious from this gallery of pictures. Not only is it a circus but also an arena for sports such as snooker and boxing and even for a TV antiques show!

And countless are the children who have visited it over the generations. Just a few of them feature here too.
