16 scenes to evoke memories of a very different Blackpool seafront in the 1990s

Our photographers captured some great moments on camera in the 1990s.

This clutch of pictures, which date back to the era of 1991-1996, focus on the seafront and Talbot Square area.

They were probably taken to accompany advertising features, change of use of buildings or general news stories from back in the day. But now, they provide a unique and precious window into the past and remind us of what the Golden Mile looked like during those times. Some places are still there, others have gone but they are generally quite different to how they are today. Most of these images haven’t been published since they were first seen in The Gazette – there are some great memories.
