Gallery Blackpool
As a young boy growing up in the 1950�s in Lancashire a trip to the coast was always a treat, being only 25 miles from my home. I visited the resort many times, usually going by train, sometimes by coach, especially to see the illuminations. The trams always held a fascination for me and a trip down to the Pleasure Beach or up to Fleetwood was the highlight of my visit. Today trams in Blackpool just keep to the Promenade but in these recent works I have shown them in their glory days when they went into town!
