Frank Randle FUNTIME Memorial Day - Each July - North Pier, Blackpool THE DAY TO CELEBRATE FRANK RANDLE SINCE THE UNVEILING OF FRANK'S BLUE PLAQUE 2010 - 10th July FRANK RANDLE'S BLACKPOOL Frank Randle's connection with Blackpool is well documented here on ITSAHOTUN.COM and with thanks to the Williams brothers, authors of the Frank Randle biography 'Wired To The Moon', we are now able to list the addresses where Frank lived ... When Frank moved to Blackpool to live with his mother and stepfather he did so at their home of 16 Heald Street – a small terraced house. After he and Queenie were married they both continued to live at Heald Street. Their next home was a slightly larger terraced house at 38 Ellesmere Road where they lived for several years. In 1935 they next moved back to Heald Street (No14 next door to their old house) where they remained for three years before moving to 32 Forest Gate. After Forest Gate they moved to 50 Grenfell Ave – then ‘Westwood’ (209) Whitegate Drive – then Craig Royston, Lytham Road before finally 94 Bispam Road. click here to see 2008 Frank Randle Memorial page LATEST - click here to see the 2009 Frank Randle Memorial page ... feast your eyes on the Unveiling Ceremony of 2007 below ...
