Day Tripper
A Memory of Blackpool.
I was raised in Manchester 1943-1967 when I emigrated to the US.
I remember special Excursion Trains, that left from Victoria Train station to Blackpool usually on Bank Holidays. We packed jam butties and tea in a thermos and our cossies, just in case it was warm enough to go paddling in the
sea. I can remember rides on donkeys and our treat was either an ice cream or a stick of Blackpool
Rock. I always wanted to go up the tower, but with three sister and a brother there wasn't enough £ s.
I know it must have rained on some of these days, but I remember the sun was always shining as we walked from one end of the promenade to the other, stopping at the souvenir shops and finally reaching the amusement park. Great childhood memories of Blackpool.
