I WAS very sad to read in The Citizen what a low and degraded state to which dear old Blackpool has sunk. We moved here in the late 30s to South Shore. Families would come here with their children from the cotton towns. Kiddies with smiling faces carried buckets and spades down Waterloo Road to the beach to make sand pies.
Punch and Judy drew crowds young and old alike and I remember Lawrence Wright's place on the Prom where we all joined in a sing-song. And where would you find such a splendid Prom like that?
Whatever is done it will take a long time to restore Blackpool into a happy seaside resort once again. Sadly it won't be in my time.
Mrs Constance M Howard,
St Annes.
