After the MOSI archive we visited Blackpool pleasure beach. We were given a talk about its history as a fairground and the rides. The fairground first opened in 1896 and was owned by William Bean, the fairground is still owned by the same family today. We were took on a tour around the park to see the rides and attractions and then to the pleasure beach archive. The archive itself had a variety of collections. Something I found highly interesting was the photo showing the pleasure beach as it was the vast difference to todays pleasure beach was shocking.
