I AM keen to hear from anyone who can help me with a history research project about Blackpool between 1930 and 1980, for my MA History degree at the University of Central Lancashire.
I am looking for people who went out in Blackpool, went on holiday there, worked there or lived there, and could tell me about socialising, meeting members of the opposite sex, romance etc, during those years.
I am trying to find out why high numbers of babies were born outside marriage in Blackpool -- so I am also interested in talking to anyone who was the father or mother of such a child in the resort at that time.
Anyone else who can shed light on the subject, such as retired or working midwives, health visitors, social workers, police officers etc, is also welcome to get in touch.
