Sepia photographic postcard of the North Shore Promenade at Blackpool, Lancashire, England, taken from an elevated vantage point during rough weather. Waves crash against the sea wall as crowds stroll the lower promenade garden terraces. Double-decker trams run along the coastal road, and the long curving promenade stretches north toward a skyline of large Victorian and Edwardian hotels. A tall weather mast is visible offshore against the grey sky.
