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 mostly 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. Use your browser to search for key subject words that are relevant to your interests.

Compiled by Carol Chapman, 2015 Assisted in conservation and sorting by Lightworks volunteer Owen Newman.

FEATURES 1950-1955. NOTE: The Illuminations were reintroduced after the War in 1949, but re-used 1930s designs.
