Before the Second World War, photographers in Blackpool (and many other holiday towns) used to snap people as they walked around, and then sell them a copy of the picture.  Unlike today, many people didn’t have a camera of their own, so it was a popular attraction! Lots of these pictures still survive, and they can tell us a lot about fashions and social life in the past.

Everyone’s got an old photo of someone from their family walking along the Prom, tucked away somewhere.  Why not upload yours to the website?
