The nave of All Hallows Church, with its Early English Gothic style, was built in or about 1270. The chancel was added in about 1295. It has a false ceiling which was installed in 1850. The nave and chancel were tiled in 1845. The chancel screen is believed to have come from Sawley Abbey after the dissolution of the monasteries. In 1439 a chapel was added on the north side of the Church. This was pulled down in 1594 when Sir Richard Shireburne arranged for the present Chapel to be built as a family mausoleum. The Shireburne Chapel, divided from the chancel by a screen, contains memorials of the Shireburne family who lived at Stonyhurst. The alabaster tombs were carved by the Roiley workshop of Burton-on-Trent run by Richard and later Gabriel Roiley. About 100 monuments produced by this workshop are known.

The Church of St Mary and All Saints dates from the 13th century. A church probably existed on this site in Anglo-Saxon times. There are three Anglo-Saxon crosses in the churchyard. The "Church of St Mary held in Wallei" was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. Most of the present church was built in the 13th century, replacing a simpler structure which likely had an aisleless nave and chancel. The tower was added in the late 15th century. The ruins of the Cistercian abbey of Whalley Abbey, founded in 1172, are very close by. The last abbot, John Paslew, was involved in the "Pilgrimage of Grace" against the church policy of King Henry VIII and was subsequently executed. Following the sequestration of the monastery by the Crown in 1537, it was dissolved in 1545 and fell into disrepair towards the end of the 17th century. The stalls in the parish church may originate from the former Cistercian abbey.

Blackpool was a hamlet, which it began to grow in the mid-eighteenth century, when sea bathing for health purposes became fashionable. Already by 1781 several hotels had been built. The opening of a railway station in the 1846 allowed more visitors to reach the resort, which continued to grow for the remainder of the nineteenth century. The development was closely tied to the Lancashire cotton-mill practice of annual factory maintenance shutdowns, known as wakes weeks, when many workers chose to visit the seaside. When I visited Blackpool the first time in the second half of the 1960s, Blackpool was still in a fascinating, glittering swing. But since then the Mediterranean region has become the most popular holiday destination for British summer holidaymakers. Blackpool, one of the cradles of modern mass tourism, has suffered greatly from the development of "package tourism". Behind the polished seafront is now one of the poorest towns in England The Blackpool tramway is one of the oldest in the UK.
