More about this scene

Bailey's Hotel was the first to accommodate visitors to Blackpool, along with Bennett's and Yorkshire House. The scene is Central Beach. J Wolfe and R Penswick were the bathing machine proprietors. These lumbering boxes on wheels were obligatory for swimmers. The sides were used for advertising Pear's soap, Hovis bread and Jones's sewing machines.
