Blackpool Library

Still on the hunt for information and records for Blackpool.

Information for the Blackpool Tower Company. The Lancashire Archives only have records of the board meetings and shareholders records. Not much detail about the tower itself. I am looking for information about the building of the tower as Alfred and William Gaskell, stone masons, built the stone foundation of the Blackpool Tower.

The senior archivist did give me the link to the Blackpool Library, who may have local newspapers from the 1890s, which may contain some pictures etc. the t the library is http://www.blackpool.gov.uk/Services/G-L/LibrariesLocalandFamilyHistory/
