19 historical photos of St Annes through the decades from the seafront to leafy streets

St Annes is one of our coastline’s most charming towns.

It established itself in the late 19th century and some of these amazing pictures go right back to the start. They show Kilgrimol school which is long gone, Victorian beach huts and the streets which are still so familiar.
