That's still the case. But my reading of Walter's post is that servicemen (possibly discharged) and/or their families were moving there during the course of WW1. If they are actually serving, then work out the logistics of trying to move house from Accy to Blackpool - it's difficult enough to do today, nevermind 1916 & organising it from a muddy trench on the Western Front is a totally different challenge.
