We asked you about your favourite memories of Blackpool when you were a child and whilst the Tower, Pleasure Beach and arcades were most certainly up there, some of your other memories tapped into Blackpool life away from the typical tourist spots. Ice-creams, making sandcastles, Pablo’s for milk shakes, scraped knees whilst playing on parks and memories of loved ones sharing special times in Blackpool. These pictures round up the memories we could illustrate with pictures and include your comments.
