Research - Blackpool

Recently, to kickstart Unit X we visited the iconic Pleasure Beach on the Blackpool strand. I’ve never been to Blackpool so I was eager and excited to gather as much inspiration as possible. The impressive structures of the rollercoasters are the first thing you see, dominating the promenade inviting the giddy visitors in. Instantly I was more drawn to the drab and dreary than the gleaming and shiny ‘cheese’ of the beach. Old fun houses and rides with washed out colours and strange shapes interested me more, such as an old ghost house with woren paint and skulls.





After a tour of the park and a talk about the founder of the park William G.Bean we got a chance to explore the entire costume department of the park.
