I've got a photograph of my Great Great Grandmother taken at Blackpool beach and on the back the date is stamped, 15th August 1938. It's amazing to see what she would have seen back then.

Poor Elephants.

This was well before my time, but certainly in the 50s and 60s the elephants 🐘 were taken regularly, early in the morning across the road from the tower onto the beach and into the sea. It was very normal to see them there. I felt sorry for the lions and tigers 🐅 even as a child I knew it was wrong, they must have had a life of misery 😢

Eeeee bye gum, that really was champion 😊

Poor sods. Head first into the coming war. What a sad fate.

Great video, not the elephants though.

Fresh air n Fun They worked together and played together So sad WW 2 came just the following year

It wasn't so happy for the poor elephants though! But the rest was fun.

Pure times

Wonderful. Thank you!

The big dipper is still here, a few repairs over the years and she's still my favorite rollercoaster haha

A really charming video. The only thing I did not like was seeing those poor elephants in that circus, especially those made to walk only on their hind legs for our entertainment. The welfare of our fellow creatures did not matter so much in those days.

True!!!!!

So interesting. Those people living thre lives and now all gone.

The only thing that's good today is that circuses are dying out 5he cruelty some of these animals endured so people could call this entertainment poor elephants.

2020 has gotten to me and the sight of crowds in this makes me uneasy 🤣

Well. HOLIDAYS 😁 WITH. 1938. I. SAY JOLLY GOOD SHOW WHAT GEOFF STOCKPORT CHESHIRE

Pleasure Beach please bring back tickets or do something better as its so K-rap at the moment....also make it free to walk round once again so families can enjoy it better....Ie older people enjoying grand-kids on rides!!

England was (mostly) white but not-so-clean for most of its people, who were worked hard for little reward.

Very interesting video xxx

The flying rockets are still there! Bring back the Mad 🐁

Ok, ok, I see what's happening here You're face to face with greatness, and it's strange You don't even know how you feel It's adorable! Well, it's nice to see that humans never change Open your eyes, let's begin Yes, it's really me, it's Maui: breathe it in! I know it's a lot: the hair, the bod! When you're staring at a demi-god What can I say except you're welcome For the tides, the sun, the sky Hey, it's okay, it's okay You're welcome I'm just an ordinary demi-guy Hey! What has two thumbs that pulled up the sky When you were waddling yay high This guy! When the nights got cold Who stole you fire from down below You're lookin' at him, yo Oh, also I lassoed the sun You're welcome! To stretch the days and bring you fun Also I harnessed the breeze You're welcome! To fill your sails and shake your trees So what can I say except you're welcome For the islands I pulled from the sea There's no need to pray, it's okay You're welcome! Ha, I guess it's just my way of being me You're welcome! You're welcome! Well, come to think of it Kid, honestly I can go on and on I can explain every natural phenomenon The tide, the grass, the ground, oh That was Maui just messing around I killed an eel I buried its guts Sprouted a tree, now you got coconuts What's the lesson? What is the take-away? Don't mess with Maui when he's on the break-away And the tapestry here on my skin Is a map of the victories I win Look where I've been I make everything happen Look at that mini-Maui just tippity-tappin' Well, anyway let me say you're welcome For the wonderful world you know Hey, it's okay, it's okay You're welcome! Well, come to think of it, I gotta go Hey, it's your day to say you're welcome 'Cause I'm gonna need that boat I'm sailing away, away You're welcome! 'Cause Maui can do anything but float You're welcome! You're welcome! And thank you!
