Year 6 - Heritage Day

Date: 4th Jul 2023 @ 10:48am

Today for Heritage Day, we were given the question: How has Basil Newby influenced the LGBTQ+ community in Blackpool?  To answer this, we looked at his life and how he became one of Blackpool's most successful entrepreneurs. This is due to him creating clubs and pubs that catered for the LGBTQ+ community. Basil owns and runs Funny Girls in town and we were visited by two of his employees, Alex and India. They gave us more background information about Basil and answered lots of questions that we had. We can't thank them enough for their time.
