It’s the street which binds the town centre together and has been the main shopping drag since Blackpool's earliest days
Bank Hey Street has been home to the big department stores through the years including RHO Hills, Binns and Lewis’s and still is where everyone heads to.
It has seen lots of changes, the most significant being in the 1970s when it was pedestrianised.
