Learn more about our history and the iconic Blackpool Grand - When Thomas Sergenson arrived in Blackpool from Preston in 1876 to take up a position at the public baths on Hygiene Terrace, he little thought that by 1909 he would have become one of the North West's leading theatre managers and making Blackpool history.
The baths were soon demolished to make way for the Prince of Wales theatre, which later became the Alhambra, then The Palace and is now the site of Poundland on the Promenade. Sergenson eventually leased the theatre, which launched his career as the People's Showman. His theatre specialised in favourite melodramas, popular music and low comedy.
