In 1901, my family lived at 81 central drive, Blackpool. I think this may be a pub but im not sure - does anyone from that area have an idea? Jack

According to 192(.)com it is listed as a barbers/health and beauty business called CHARAMANTA.

Hi Jack I drove down Central Drive at the weekend to look for number 81 for you. Janet is correct - it is presently being used as a barbers shop. The property is very old (and not far from the town centre) so I don't imagine it has always been a barbers - it's the sort of property where just the ground floor premises have been converted. The traffic was very heavy - Saturday afternoon on an Illuminations weekend - so I couldn't really stop for a close look but if you would like a photo I could take one on my phone and email it to you.
