Galleries

The Leisure, Travel & Mass Culture: The History of Tourism image gallery is divided into four sections; the main visual gallery, a map gallery, a selection of promotional tourism films and the online exhibition.

You can search within the main image and map galleries using the search bar under the header, or you can filter the main 'Image Gallery' by 'Theme(s)' or by 'Image Type'. From here you can view the full-size images and related metadata, as well as download images as PDFs, run a slideshow or create your own bespoke collection of images using the 'My Lightbox' function.

The online exhibitions highlight the histories of Blackpool and Coney Island as popular tourist destinations. The exhibitions have been written by collection specialists and contain important images of each resort.

Within an exhibition, select each thumbnail to read about different aspects of the resot. You can use the drop-down menu "Select an Exhibition..." to navigate to another exhibition.
