The chrome Blackpool coat of arms was a generic badge worn by Corporation employees. The "square" shaped badge is from Blackburn not Blackpool. It was worn as a cap badge and as a collar badge.
The blue ring BTP cap badge was worn by Inspectorate ranks. The one without the enamel by Sgts and Const. ranks.
As far as I'm aware Hiatts did not manufacture badges, but did retail them. The style of manufacture suggests that Fattorini were the manufacturer.
