Miss Blackpool Competition - Previous Winners Project

2014 will mark the 60th anniversary of one of Britain's oldest and most respected beauty contests and to celebrate, Paul and Lucy are putting together a detailed history of the Miss Blackpool Competition.



We are keen to feature as may of the previous winners as possible and would also like to hear from anybody who has photographs, newspaper cuttings and other memorabilia.



This will all then be put together in book form and sold in aid of the current Miss Blackpool Competition's adopted charity, which is the Blackpool Polar Bears disabled swimming club.




Below is a list of all the previous winners of the competition.  If YOU are on this list, if you know somebody who is or if you are related to a previous winner, please get in touch with us here: HERE
