Description: “Blackpool from the tower looking North.” Landscape view showing Blackpool seafront and the beaches from the tower. Lt. Irvine of the Royal Army Medical Corps was staying in Blackpool prior to shipping out on the SS Durham Castle to South Africa and then on to German East Africa. ❧ The image is from an album chronicling the war time experiences of Archibald Clive Irvine (1893-1974) in East Africa. During this time he would meet Dr John W Arthur which in turn would lead to his missionary work at Chogoria in Kenya.
