EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting vintage image of Blackpool Central Pier in 1890, as captured by The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. Located in the seaside town of Blackpool, Lancashire, England, the pier was first opened in May 1868 and quickly became a popular destination for day-trippers and holidaymakers. This photograph, taken in the late Victorian/early Edwardian period, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the pier's ornate ironwork, intricate detailing, and bustling activity. Children in their Sunday best frock coats and dresses can be seen enjoying the day at the seaside, with a young boy gazing out to sea from the pier's edge, while a group of boys play and laugh nearby. Girls in long pinafores and ribbons cling to their mothers' hands, their eyes wide with wonder and excitement. The pier's pavilion, adorned with colorful banners and flags, looms in the background, inviting visitors to explore its many attractions. The pier's lantern slide, a popular form of entertainment at the time, adds to the magical atmosphere, casting a warm, inviting glow over the scene. The sight of the pier, with its towering structure and bustling activity, would have been a familiar one to those living in the area during the late 19th century. This photograph offers a precious reminder of a bygone era, inviting us to imagine the sights, sounds, and sensations of a day at the seaside over a century ago.
