FEARS were growing this week for the safety of an elderly holidaymaker who was last seen leaving his Blackpool hotel a week ago.
Thomas Steel, who is aged about 76, was last seen going out of the Galway Hotel on Tyldsley Road at 8pm on July 12.
He has not returned to the hotel since and his property is still in his room and his car is still parked outside the hotel.
Mr Steel, from the Barrow area, was described as white but very well suntanned, and 6ft 2ins tall with white, straight, short hair. He was last seen wearing white shorts, a blue blazer and a burgundy cravat.
Police said that they wanted to know whether Mr Steel was safe and were appealing for anyone who knew of his whereabouts to contact them on 293933.
