EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up to the vibrant and exhilarating world of Blackpool, the 'Babylon of the North' and 'wonder-city of non-stop pleasure by the sea,' as depicted in this double-page spread by Tom Titt in the September 1931 issue of The Tatler. This caricatured scene showcases the boundless amusements that attracted holidaymakers to this iconic British seaside resort. In the heart of the action, the Empress Ballroom at the Winter Gardens comes alive with an energetic dance floor filled with couples twirling and laughing, lost in the moment. Nearby, the Spanish Courtyard of the Winter Gardens offers a taste of exoticism with its Moorish-inspired architecture and lush foliage, providing a welcome respite from the bustling streets. The Golden Mile, Blackpool's famous seafront promenade, is a hub of activity, with holidaymakers in their beach pyjamas enjoying the sunshine and the thrilling attractions. The Tower Circus, a Blackpool landmark, promises fun for all ages, while the North Pier Pavilion's 'On with the Show of 1931' offers an array of entertainment. Tom Titt's intricate and humorous caricature captures the essence of a bygone era, inviting us to take a step back in time and experience the magic of Blackpool during the 1930s. With its unforgettable charm and endless entertainment, it's no wonder that this iconic resort continues to captivate visitors to this day.
