EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Blackpool in 1938. The image showcases the iconic Woolworths store located on Bank Hey Street, with its impressive exterior view from the southwest. As we gaze upon this snapshot of history, our eyes are immediately drawn to the lively scene unfolding before us. The streets are teeming with shoppers going about their day, adding a sense of vibrancy and energy to the photograph. Amidst this hustle and bustle, we catch sight of the unmistakable Woolworths Cafe sign proudly displayed on the clock tower. It serves as a reminder that even then, people sought respite from their shopping adventures by indulging in a cup of coffee or a sweet treat at this beloved establishment. Intriguingly, towering over everything else in the background is none other than Blackpool Tower itself. This architectural marvel acts as both a landmark and an emblematic symbol for Blackpool's rich history as a popular tourist destination. Preserved within Historic England Archive's collection, this print offers us an extraordinary glimpse into everyday life during an era long gone but not forgotten.
