520 Although it escaped bombing raids, Blackpool played an
important role in World War II as a center for training,
with numerous airfields and factories surrounding the
area. This book is the first to offer a dedicated history
of the town during this period. It includes interesting
stories such as the people’s playground, the Freckleton
Air Disaster, and an event-by-event account of activities.
Despite being less affected than some other areas, the
difficult war years still impacted the local people.
Filled with true tales of local courage and of the spirit
of the people of Blackpool during these tumultuous years,
this nostalgic volume will be of interest to all who know
and love Blackpool.
