There are known to have been Waxworks in Blackpool since the
1870s, principally at the time those of Monsieur D'Arc & Elias
Fletcher, housed in wooden buildings a little to the south of
Central Pier. By 1890, there was Mr. Lee's "Grand Museum and Royal
Waxwork" in shop premises on Church Street (opposite The Grand).
Louis Tussaud, a great grandson of Madame Tussaud, came to Blackpool
in 1900 from London, where he had previously held waxworks
exhibitions. Following a fire and trouble obtaining further premises
there, he had decided to tour the provinces. He first set up a
waxworks in Blackpool in the basement of the Hippodrome theatre,
Church Street, opening it in July 1900. The following year, he moved
the exhibition to the Brunswick Café, South Beach.
