37 historical photos of Blackpool's beloved Stanley Park back to its opening 100 years ago

Blackpool Stanley Park is a town treasure and of course, it’s marked its Centenary this year.

It has provided a wonderful green space for everyone to enjoy since 1926. Of course, it’s protected by Grade II listed status and has won awards for being the best park in the UK. We already know that though.

These photos go right back to the early days, the band stand, Cocker Memorial Clock, the playground and leisurely scenes of people enjoying the landscape.
