A unique memorabilia book, carefully produced in close collaboration with Pleasure Beach, in which professor Vanessa Toulmin of the National Fairground Archive presents the story of Blackpool Pleasure Beach, offering a unique insight into the history of the park. 

The book showcases many images from the park’s never before seen archives, plus a whole host of recent pictures detailing the various changes at Pleasure Beach. Chapters cover the numerous world renowned designers that have worked with Pleasure Beach creating stunning art deco architecture throughout the park, the many award winning shows and the development of roller coasters from the early wooden designs right up to the modern steel looping counterparts. 

“Pleasure Beach is such a special place which has provided amazing entertainment for the whole family for over 100 years. The book captures the magic of the park – detailing our incredible history from the very first ride in 1896 right up to the latest exciting development of Nickelodeon Land due to open in April 2011”. - Amanda Thompson, Pleasure Beach Managing Director
