I had an aunt who lived in North Shore, Blackpool. Her next door neighbour was an actress from Coronation Street, I can't remember her name but she played the one of the three old biddys with the beret (Martha Longhurst?). In the next street was the actor who played Sid the cafe owner in 'Last of the summer wine'. My cousin was a professional musician and played in the various theatres in Blackpool and had many tales of the antics of some of the slebs that appeared there.
