A church was first built on the site of Holy Trinity in 1836.[1] It was located amongst sandhills, in what is now Dean Street in Blackpool's South Shore area. Designed by John Braithwaite, the church held 250 people. The church became a parish church in 1871.[1] In the 1880s, damage to the building meant that a new church had to be built; it was completed in 1895.[2] The new design was by Bolton architect Richard Knill Freeman. Holy Trinity was designated a Grade II listed building by English Heritage on 20 October 1983.[3] The Grade II listing is for buildings that are "nationally important and of special interest".[4]
The nave and chancel are under a continuous high roof. The nave is of three bays with pilaster buttresses.[3] The chancel has two bays and a timber vault.[5] The transepts have two gables externally, with large four-light windows.[5]
There is stained glass in windows to the east and west by Ward and Hughes, from the early 20th century. Two large windows in the south transept were designed in 1909 by Carl Almquist of Shrigley and Hunt.[5]
