Its stretch of sand and how people enjoy it is one of the main reasons why people flock to our shores. One reader thinks sitting on the beach and eating fish and chips is the one thing that has to be done in Blackpool. And that has resonated through time. These pictures were all taken during the summer months on the beach and surrounding area. Some go back years, right to the turn of the 20th Century. Who doesn’t love the beach?
