Smedley	Folklore: 'Like Blackpool through a stick of rock' (4)	RE: Folklore: 'Like Blackpool through a stick of rock'	18 May 14
There a reference in Graham Greene's novel 'Brighton Rock' that's pretty similar to that phrase (not the railway part). Novel first published in the late 30s, I think. And of course the George Formby song about Blackpool rock is from the same era.
