The Blackpool rock industry is under threat from Chinese imposters.
Wonder what George would make of it.

Believe it or not, I still have an LP of George Formby which I bought for my mum years and years ago.

Her favourite was "With Me Lickle Stick o' Blackpool Rock."

Blackpool rock was made in Southport. So if the rock is produced abroad will it have Made in China through the middle instead of Blackpool

There’s a campaign to protect it, I-Spy.


@TheLeadUK

“This week, MP Chris Webb called on government to secure protected status for Blackpool rock after telling The Lead he will continue to fight for rock makers.”
