I have to admit I’ve never been to Blackpool! As a southerner, all our seaside holidays were in Kent 🙂 This building looks great at night!
I’ve doubled up with Sunday Stills to bring you a mix of blackness and light: https://www.toonsarah-travels.blog/gallery-blackness-against-the-light/

Most of my childhood holidays were Cornwall and Isle of Wight, but we definitely went to the Blackpool area once. And we went to see the illuminations at least once.

Wasn’t it was a good move on someone’s part to build a registry office that would attract wedding business into the town…

I spent one night in Blackpool – didn’t look as well as that! Maybe 1996/97. Torrential rain – sandbags everywhere! Thanks for the mention above Debbie…… here’s this week’s offering…

You have to look hard to find signs of its former grandeur. But it’s definitely worth a visit. There’s a modern design registry office on the seafront that is worth a look and not just for its design. The outfits of the wedding couple and guests often add a real blitz of colour to Blackpool whatever the weather.

Certainly matches its night time appearance.
Originally, its name came from a drainage channel running over a peat bog, which discharged discoloured water into the Irish Sea.

I have seen holiday crowds at Blackpool. The name has always not sat right with me. Whereas Brighton is a far more cheerful name 🙂

It is still popular with families, especially those that live in the area. It has funfairs galore and donkeys on the beach. And ice cream. And theatre. And tower. But …..
