Blackpool’s Showtown History Centre has re-opened following extensive repairs and refurbishment work.
The history centre has been closed since February 2020 due to significant roof damage.
The centre on the first floor of Central Library on Queen Street is home to more than 100,000 unique archives and is split into three departments: print and visual, archives and manuscripts, and costume and material culture.
There is also a support collection for local studies material such as microfilmed newspapers, books and maps.
The centre re-opened on Friday.
