We’ve dug into the archives to find some of the best photos which depict school dinner times – the menus, the food, the metal water jugs and the dinner ladies on hand to make sure we cleared our plates. The photos go right back to the 1980’s through to the 00s and are all from Blackpool and Fylde schools.
