ON behalf of the proprietors of Blackpool’s Stanley Park Art Deco Café I would like to ask readers of The Northern Echo if anyone has any old photos of the café interior dating from the Thirties to the Seventies?

All such photos were destroyed in a fire (in council property) and local historians are unable to locate any in their archives.

Despite Blackpool’s many history books, there are no interior photos published. So the proprietors are asking holidaymakers from several areas in the hope that someone, somewhere may possess a photo or two.

If so, would they please contact the proprietors, Mr and Mrs Lidstone, at Art Deco Café, Stanley Park, West Park Drive, Blackpool, Lancashire, FY3 9EQ?

Or, if they are spending a few days holiday here, perhaps they may have time to call there in person with their photo(s).

Clifford Chambers, Blackpool.
