Blackpool Bank Holiday Blues

I'm not sure if it only seems that in Britain we always get horrible weather on Bank Holidays when people want to enjoy themselves, but this one in August in the late Eighties was a shocker. Colour views of such days are usually just too dreary but it's at times like this that good of black and white film comes into it's own laying on the misery giving it loads of gritty atmosphere. Even on a day like this Blackpool had it's attractions whether it be the trams or Leyland Atlanteans to ride on like this very late example with East Lancs bodywork and which was also the town's last new one No.364 B364UBV.
