James Walmsley was manager of Blackpool Tower’s aquarium, he liked to drink sea water from his tanks. On the 17th June 1915 Jim was to imbibe his last drop, for late on that day his lifeless body was mysteriously discovered beneath the filter beds. #strangedeaths #cemetery

@Darkveilpara1 Fab pictures, but I just don't get this infatuation with demolishing our Heritage, Deborah.

Freckleton water mill, built in the 14th century, provided milled corn for the local agricultural community. It was demolished in the 1960’s. #history #heritage #mill #water #millstone

Did you know donkey rides began on Blackpool beach around the 1830s? Donkeys were originally working animals for the fishing industry but owners saw the money making potential of charging holidaymakers to ride them. #seasideweek #blackpoolfromhome @ShowtownBPL

@Darkveilpara1 An irresistible ride but absolutely terrifying. Loved it!

Layton Cemetery was opened in February 1873 and It is now believed to have 17,500 plots.
Headstones have been imported from St Johns Church, Holy Trinity church & Bethesda Chapel.
It has a fascinating history and there are so many stories to tell! #cemetery #history #northwestuk

It's about protecting everyone. What if you were the one that passed Coronavirus on to your family and they became seriously ill? Is it worth the risk? No!
Anyone can get it. Anyone can spread it. Stay at home. 🏘️ #StayAtHomeLSC

@Darkveilpara1 @OGOMProject I visited Sambo's grave many years ago. Another visitor told me Sambo pined to death for his master whom he thought had abandoned him but was in fact on a sea voyage.
English

Sambo's grave is a memorial to a slave who is thought to have arrived in 1736 at the port with his master.
Born in Africa and taken to the West Indies as a slave before landing in Lancaster, he was taken ill and died near a local inn at Sunderland Point.@OGOMProject #rip #Death
