EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of Blackpool's iconic Promenade, as seen from the south. At the heart of the scene stands the iconic Blackpool Tower, a symbol of the seaside resort's rich heritage and enduring popularity. The tower, completed in 1894, was once the tallest building in England and remains a major tourist attraction, drawing visitors from near and far. In the foreground, a vintage Blackpool tram glides along the Promenade, its red and white livery a familiar sight to generations of visitors. The trams have been a key part of the town's transport network since the late 19th century, providing a convenient and affordable way for visitors to explore the town and its many attractions. The seafront itself is a hive of activity, with people strolling along the promenade, enjoying the fresh sea air and taking in the views of the Irish Sea. The sandy beach stretches out to the left of the image, dotted with colorful beach huts and sunbathers. The photograph, taken by Alun Bull for Historic England, captures the timeless charm of Blackpool and its enduring appeal as a popular seaside destination. The combination of the historic Blackpool Tower, the vintage tram, and the bustling seafront create a scene that is at once nostalgic and modern, a testament to the town's ability to adapt and evolve while preserving its unique character.
