More about this scene

The iron railings were taken for the war effort in the Second World War. St John's was situated on Church Street, and perhaps its most famous vicar was William Thornber, known for his fiery sermons. He also worked hard to get a lifeboat for the town, and wrote a history of Blackpool.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

My Grandfather and Grandmother were married in this church. My grandfather John Booth was a rock manufaturer - the Exhibition Rock Company in Gorton Street. I saw the lights being turned off in 1939 when the war broke out. My Father Ronald Monk had the first internal airline in the UK going from Blackpool to the Isle of Man and Liverpool. At the Isle of Man airport one can see the propellor from his seaplane. It was while doing this that he met my Mother Madeline Monk nee Booth.
