Description

Amateur documentary film about the leisure attractions of Blackpool. Following a home made advertisement for liver salts, visitors are seen arriving at the resort's bus and railway stations. There is footage of the crowded beach, views of the seafront from a motor boat and shots of the Pleasure Beach. Scenes of Stanley Park are followed by a lift journey to the top of Blackpool Tower which provides views of the promenade. The film ends with shots of the Illuminations.
