It was the first real opportunity we had to play our large scale version of Blackpool Monopoly “A Grand day out in Blackpool”. Magnetic man came into his own with the aid of a small child on Friday and 6ft 8″ teenager on Saturday! There was an array of wonderful stands, acrobatics, free family activities and face painting.

Amazing day viewing Blackpool’s magical archives

We were overwhelmed by history librarian Tony Sharkey and Anne’s help as they’d pre-selected an abundance of amazing imagery for us to to peruse and record. Together Peter & I took 517 photos, it was a wonderfully intense and inspiring time. We’re totally in awe of Blackpool’s amazing visual history and can’t wait to crack on with ideas for Project Object.
