In the 1960s, Blackpool was a thriving seaside resort, attracting millions with the piers, illuminations, and Tower.
Holidaymakers flocked from industrial towns for funfair rides, ballroom dancing, and donkey rides on the beach. It was a golden era of British seaside culture, full of charm, tradition, and entertainment.
