In 1989, the Iron Bridge appeared on a 19p postage stamp as part of the 'Industrial Archaeology' series.

In 1994, Royal Mail issued a stamp featuring the Blackpool Tower and a bather getting her toe nipped by a crab, to celebrate the centenary of picture postcards. The iconic Queen’s head was, as ever, looking down on the scene.
