  • A man dressed in a dark suit and tie, shoes and socks lies down on his matching jacket for a short rest - perhaps during a lunchtime break from an office job - and stretches out on the incline of Blackpool seafront. In the background is Blackpool Tower, an architectural copy of Paris' Eiffel Tower opened to the public on 14 May 1894 and rises to 158m (518 ft 9 inches). As a sort of English eccentric character, the man looks incongruous as he sleeps in sunshine amid other holidaymakers. This northern seaside resort in the north-west of England is diverse in its transient holiday population whose behaviour can be routinely odd. Blackpool is the largest resort in the north of England and visited traditionally by working people from industrial towns and cities during the industrial revolution.

  • Three laughing ladies hold up their sticks of rock beneath a seaside character on the seafront at Blackpool, on 18th July 1993, Blackpool, Lancashire, England. In 1887, sugar-boiling factory owner Ben Bullock bought some plain stick candy band had the idea of putting ‘Blackpool Rock’ through the centre of the rock. Now a major industry in the holiday season in Britain and many seaside towns have their versions with their own names running through the rock. Modern seaside rock is thicker, about 1 inch, and more solid than the original form. Its sugar content is nowadays a reason not to buy as much, the adverse effects on teeth from sugar and colouring by the confectionary industry being a main reason for its decline.

  • People walk along the promenade past the Shop and amusement arcades within the Golden Mile leading to Blackpool Tower in Blackpool, Lancashire, England, United Kingdom. The promenade between the North and South piers was called the Golden Mile in the 19th century due to the amusement rides, fortune-tellers and slot machines opened.

  • The blurred lights of Blackpool's south pier register as a circle in this time exposure. Reflected on the puddles in beach sand, we see the colours of this iron structure on England's north west coast. Work began to build the pier in 1892. It was constructed, at a total cost of £50,000. <br />
South Pier (originally known as Victoria Pier) is one of three piers in Blackpool, England. Located on South Promenade on the South Shore, the pier contains a number of amusement and adrenalin rides. It opens each year from March to November and is owned by Six Piers Limited.

  • A young couple sit on an early, quiet Blackpool North Pier in Lancashire. With no one else to bother them during a private conversation. It looks a little one-sided, as the man sits nonchalantly with legs splayed, as if disinterested in the romantic whispers from his girlfriend, and the woman, looking much more attentive and in love. We see the calm waters of the Irish Sea that this morning is at high tide. In the background is Blackpool Tower, an architectural copy of Paris' Eiffel Tower opened to the public on 14 May 1894 and rises to 158m (518 ft 9 inches). This northern seaside resort in the northwest of England is diverse in its transient holiday population whose behaviour can be routinely odd. Blackpool is the largest resort in the north of England and visited traditionally by working people during the industrial revolution.

  • A detail of a rock and holiday souvenir seller in the Lancashire seaside town of Blackpool. Standing in his shop, we see the owner of this seaside shop on the northwest England resort where buying seaside gifts and souvenirs is ever popular by visitors and daytrippers. In 1887, sugar-boiling factory owner Ben Bullock bought some plain stick candy band had the idea of putting ‘Blackpool Rock’ through the centre of the rock.

  • Two sisters sit in identical poses on sea wall benches at Blackpool's Promenade, Lancashire, England. The eccentric pair has adopted the same posture in a way that twins and sisters sharing the same genetic characteristics and habits often do. Seated with bags at their own sandals and with the same styles of floral pattern dresses, the two look like the proverbial ‘peas in a pod.’ Blackpool is a seaside resort in the northwest of England is diverse in its transient holiday population whose behaviour can be routinely odd.

  • It is night-time on Blackpool's Golden Mile, the seaside resort in Lancashire, England. Like an English Las Vegas the neon lights glow to entice the holidaymaker inside where slot machines, games and rides await visitors to lose their vacation money. The Golden Mile is the name given to the stretch of Promenade between the North and South piers. It emerged in the late 19th Century, when small-time fairground operators, fortune-tellers, phrenologists and oyster bars set up in the front gardens of boarding houses, This northern seaside resort in the north-west of England is diverse in its transient holiday population whose behaviour can be routinely odd. Blackpool is the largest resort in the north of England and visited traditionally by working people from industrial towns and cities during the industrial revolution.

  • A rather eccentric-looking man is seated on a bench on Blackpool's North Pier. This northern seaside resort in the north-west of England is diverse in its transient holiday population whose behaviour can be routinely odd. The pier has intricate cast ironwork seat backs dating from 1863 and the man sits with ankles crossed, wearing a suit and trilby hat on a warm summer's day. In the background we see families - parents and children - playing and walking on the beach at low-tide - the golden sands a much-visited aspect of Blackpool, the largest resort in the north of England and visited traditionally by working people from industrial towns and cities during the industrial revolution.

  • Young Tories dance the can-can and party during late-night revelry at the 1991 Conservative party conference. Members of the British Conservative Party (known as Tories) dance the Can-Can with legs kicking high in the air. During the political party's annual conference (convention) this is year in the seaside town of Blackpool, young members liven up after a long day of policy and debate. The cancan first appeared in the working-class ballrooms of Montparnasse in Paris in around 1830. It was a more lively version of the galop, a dance in quick 2/4 time, which often featured as the final figure in the quadrille. The cancan was, therefore, originally a dance for couples, who indulged in high kicks and other gestures with arms and legs. It is thought that they were influenced by the antics of a popular entertainer of the 1820s

  • An elderly retired couple pause on the wide but darkly lit dance floor at Blackpool Tower Ballroom, England. They are the only dancers in the empty dance space, except for the Wurlitzer organist who is playing his accompanying music at the front of the stage, in a pool of bright light. We are looking down from a balcony high above and the husband and wife are pausing during their dance routine, stopping just long enough to register as sharp figures in the picture. The light is orange and red because of the tungsten light source. The Ballroom is the traditional home of the mighty Wurlitzer Organ and complemented by the 3 Deck Wersi - the world's most advanced organ. The Wersi is a state-of-the-art Louvre organ which is played by the resident organists in this magnificent setting. The present interior of the Blackpool Tower circus  was created by the famous theatre designer, Frank Matcham and completed in 1900.

  • Prime Minster Margaret Thatcher is seen giving a party speech at the 1991 Conservative Party Conference in Blackpool, Lancashire, a full year after being removed by her own colleagues the previous November. Her softer and perhaps pensive expression contrasts with her reputation of the Iron Lady with a gaze that made her opponents uncomfortable. She seems distant here, perhaps recalling her great days in office when she was a powerful figure in world politics. She is wearing the same favourite two-tone blue suit with wide shoulders and a pearl ear-rings as she wore the year before when still in office. The ambient stage lights emphasize the blonde highlights in her hair.

They are on the dance floor and Tory party officials are enjoying the moment as their PM relishes the moment.

Behind the lady in blue are three other people, one of whom is inspecting her cleavage to the surprise of another lady who is staring wide-eyed down at the lady's bosoms. It is a humorous, ridiculous scene at a formal political function

  • Prime Minister of the day,  John Major is under the scrutiny of media TV cameras during the 1991 Tory party conference.

  • A young couple dance on the dance floor during an evening party hosted by the Young Conservatives at the annual political party conference of Prime Minister John Major's government. The girl looks seductively at the viewer but the young man has eyes only for her.

  • Ex-British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher with current premier John Major at 1991 Tory party conference. Two years after her colleagues deposed her, forcing her to resign from her 11 year premiership she is still in favour by Conservatives who are proud to display her in public, before eventually shunning her policies and profile for their campaigns. She looks forlorn alongside her replacement after her speech to the present Prime Minsiter from the stage. Thatcher has been lending her support to her replacement, the former Chancellor and Foreign Secretary, but the otherwise unknown John Major who governed until 1997.

  • Holidaymakers are seated in deckchairs on the North Pier at Blackpool, England. As a man in the back row drinks deeply from a can and a lady next to him looks intently at life to the right, a more eccentric woman sleeps with a lacy handkerchief stretched across her face, pinned inside her sunglasses. Looking very English with embroidered or printed pattern of flowers. This northern seaside resort in the north-west of England is diverse in its transient holiday population whose behaviour can be routinely odd. Blackpool is the largest resort in the north of England and visited traditionally by working people from industrial towns and cities during the industrial revolution.

  • Two men enjoy their own versions of Blackpool North Pier, Lancashire, England. On the right, the first man is lying down on a bench with his trousers gathered around his ankles, his red bathing costume or underpants are baggy and he is looking across to something of interest while scratching his bald head. The second man on the right is not wearing a shirt and his stomach is spilling over his trousers. He has a bunch of keys attached to his belt and is pointing a video camera (camcorder) towards the shore. It is a comical scene and typical of Blackpool beach life. This northern sea side resort in the north-west of England is diverse in its transient holiday population whose behaviour can be routinely odd.
