"Blackpool Vegas" - an apt description, indeed!&nbsp;
In this second part of our look at 1970s Blackpool, Milly describes the attraction that's Blackpool; live shows, side shows, crowds and a bustling tourism industry. The decline comes in the form of cheap overseas holidays and Blackpool's peak is soon on the wane.&nbsp;
Thank you for your ongoing support of the MwM podcast. We'll be back to talk the 1980s in season five.

S5 Ep1: The Lady's not for turning: change is on the way

Mondays with Milly is a podcast about the past as told by someone who was there. 
Through a series of interviews, "Milly" - AKA Doreen from Manchester - talks about her life from the Great Depression era and World War 2 to the present day. Now in her nineties, Milly is a natural story-teller with a razor-sharp memory. Her recount of a life spanning some of history's defining moments provides a unique insight into how people lived, coped, survived and endured times of great adversity. 
Recorded during the Covid19 era, these online interviews have relevance during uncertain times.
