my wife just recently discovered the Blackpool Illumination statues and decided to add Them to the internet archives.  We were wondering if anyone had any more photos that are not as easily found (via Google), or obscure that should be added to the Archives?

An example, for your time :D  (this one is common to see <3)

I just reblogged this . . . People found some of them via Google Street View!

Sapphire's been repainted and is just hanging out in a field with a real horse.

The flutter ponies' wings blinked to give the impression of flying and the Princess ponies' hats and manes had blinking lights!

Sarah Bee has one in her backyard, can't remember which. If she's currently active on FB, she did have a video up on her profile.

Here's a TP thread from when they were being sold. There are still pics visible.

Ah I remember trying to bid on one of these on eBay around 2012. I think SarahBee got it in the end.

The pony in the garden centre was not far from where I live. It was called Willowpool Garden centre (in Lymm) but it closed down somewhere around 2014.

Here’s my friend with one of them. When we first started working together and I saw this was her Fb profile pic I knew we were destined to be friends and 10 years later we still are haha!

Holy cow!  :blink: I didn't realize they were that big! That's horse sized.
