A Day Out in Blackpool
When you think of Blackpool, it might conjure up images of a busy seaside resort with plenty of people enjoying their time there. Whether that’s at the Pleasure Beach or having fun in the amusement arcades – it’s a busy place.
But, on a chilly May day last year, I found a more serene town with a whole heap of photographic subjects.
There were gulls in the sea water pools chilling..
Or flying down to take a seat..
Or pondering its next move..
There were people walking, going about their day..
There were empty beaches..
And piers..
Blackpool’s iconic tower..
And, finally, the Comedy Carpet – one of the largest pieces of art in the UK..
I hope you enjoyed these images of a very serene Blackpool town 🙂

Wow, very strange to see blackpool so empty!
It was and this was last year, way before the virus hit us!
haha didn’t know that!
🙂
Great pictures Gill. Being fairly local we would often have day trips to Blackpool when we were kids!
Thank you Darren. I went to Blackpool when I was younger too. It’s a fab place with the beach and everything!
Love the pictures as always and the tour….if you had’t said anything, I would have assumed these picks are current because of the absence of people. Great post!!
Thank you so much Kirt! Yes, I hadn’t thought of that 🙂
Thanks for the tour and lovely photos of Blackpool Gill! x
Thank you Nilla, you are very welcome 😉
I guess, it is like that now too with the lockdown…. however the weather was nice, so people might have flocked out.
We have been having some good weather for the time of year, although it is also very changeable.
