Coleen, Anne, Denise, Maureen and Linda gathered with their wider family at the hotel where their showbiz careers were launched
The world famous Nolan family went back to their roots as they returned to the Blackpool hotel where they were first discovered back in 1973.
"This is where we were performing when our dad was asked if we would move to London to perform there. And the rest is history as they say." The Nolan Family's blue plaque, installed through Blackpool Civic Trust and officially unveiled by Deputy Mayor Major Adrian Hoyle, states: "The Cliffs Hotel was where the Nolan Family were discovered in 1973. The family of five sisters; Bernadette, Anne, Linda, Maureen and Denise, and two brothers Tommy Jnr and Brian, emigrated with their parents; Tommy Snr and Maureen, from Dublin to Blackpool before having their eighth child, Coleen.
The Nolan family lived in a terraced house in Waterloo Road after emigrating to Blackpool from Ireland. The siblings often performed at the nearby Waterloo Road Working Men's Club.
