Blackpool Remembered

Your journey back in time starts here…

Blackpool Remembered is a project by the fans for the fans – and it was always John Collier’s ambition to create something that would be available for FREE.

A digital publication meant that the project was not constrained by any budget or production costs, and it could be as big as we wanted – though with over 400 pages and 80 contributors, the end result is indeed much bigger on the inside than we ever imagined – proof that there is still so much love for the original Doctor Who exhibition in Blackpool, thirty-five years after it closed its doors.

Contributors include: Steve Cambden, Julie Jones, Bob Richardson, Katy Manning, Mike Tucker, Neil Cole, Kevin Jon Davies, Steve Cole, John Field, Stuart Glazebrook and Richard Leaver.

  2. This. Is. Amazing. I totally thought this was going to be a pleasant-enough but amateurish affair. It’s not. It’s SO well done, so well thought through and so full of love. I’d buy this in print in a double-heartbeat if the opportunity ever arose.

  6. Thank you so much for this eBook. It’s wonderful. So many memories. I first visited in 1976 and remember vividly the Krynoid hanging menacingly around the entrance, Was terrified until I realized I could see the see the shirt on the back of the neck of the guy inside the costume. Still, the exhibition was magical. So is this eBook. Thanks again.
