EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Blast from the Past: North Drive, Cleveleys, Lancashire in the 1920s - The Post Office and Ye Baccy Shoppe 2.. This black-and-white photograph, taken in the 1920s, transports us back in time to North Drive in the quaint coastal town of Cleveleys, near Hardhorn and Thornton, Lancashire, England. The image showcases two distinctive local businesses that once thrived in this area: the Post Office and Ye Baccy Shoppe. 3. The Post Office, located on the left side of the image, is a testament to the community's rich history. With its red-painted door and ornate signage, it stands proudly as a symbol of communication and connection. The Post Office was a vital hub for the residents of Cleveleys, providing essential services such as letter delivery, telegrams, and the sale of stamps and stationery. 4. On the right side of the photograph, we find Ye Baccy Shoppe, a traditional tobacco shop. The name, written in elegant script on a wooden sign, hints at the shop's long-standing connection to the local community. Tobacco shops were common in British towns during the early 20th century, and Ye Baccy Shoppe likely catered to the area's working-class population, offering a variety of tobacco products and pipe repairs. 5. The image also provides a glimpse into the daily life of Cleveleys during the 1920s. Horse-drawn carts and automobiles can be seen on the road, while pedestrians go about their business. The photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, inviting us to reflect on the history and character of this charming Lancashire town. 6. This photograph is an invaluable historical record, offering a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the importance of preserving local history for future generations. It is a poignant reminder of the role that small businesses played in the lives of communities and the irreplaceable value of documenting our shared history.
