27 memorable pictures of Blackpool Golden Mile where people were dazzled by the arcades of the 90s and 00s

A sprawling stretch of Blackpool’s dazzling Golden Mile is packed with arcades and entertainment places.

It’s where neon lights blaze, slot machines whirl and the seaside roars into life.

And, of course, the bars.

These photos, mostly from the 90s with a few earlier glimpses, capture a constant slice of Blackpool life through the years.
