A North West journalist who is also a city’s ‘media ambassador’ has penned a foreword to a new book.

Ken Bennett, travel writer and news reporter with the Oldham Evening Chronicle, has written the introduction to ‘Blackpool: The People’s Playground’.

The book is full colour panoramic tribute to the seaside resort with many of the pictures featured taken by local college students.

It has been published by Woodland Publishing, which is owned by photographer Guy Woodland, and edited by journalist Lewis Baxter.

In his foreword, Ken wrote: “There is no doubt it is a resort that time and tide have knocked about a bit.

“But its current long and winding road is leading it to secure a firm anchorage as Britain’s undisputed capital of entertainment.

“It has an uncanny knack of bouncing back and there is an impatient yearning to share in its regeneration and repositioning of the resort for the next century.”

That’s Ken – a man capable of the highest cliche count in the journalistic universe.
