There is a suggestion that this atmospheric street scene was taken around Blackpool Station way, which doesn’t really help much as the holiday resort has two main station serving the north and south of the town. But the hoardings certainly look like they could be designed to catch the eye of newly arrived visitors. Frustratingly they are not sharp enough to make out any of the attractions on at the Winter Gardens or the Tower Ballroom (“Dine At The Tower Cafe”), which might help narrow the date down beyond “the early 1930s”. Something has caught the attention of the woman on the left, but her friend is more interested in the cameraman. I assume that’s food in the brown paper parcel, it is being carried carefully so as not to damage the contents! No company identified on the reverse either.
