BLACKPOOL ILLUMINATIONS COLLECTION
The Blackpool Illuminations Collection is a collection of original artwork designed for the famous
Illuminations since 1925.
The collection is held at the Lightworks in Blackpool - for details or further information please contact
the Local and Family History Centre at Blackpool Central Library on 01253 478090 or email
[email protected]
The entries on the catalogue include year of design and name of designer where known.
The list distinguishes where possible between "road sections" (features placed along the Promenade)
and "tableaux" (situated mainly on the cliffs at North Shore).
Not all of the designs that are shown here were actually manufactured and used in the Illuminations.
Not all of the features created and used in the Illuminations have surviving artwork.
