Blackpool
is a holidaymaker's destination that plays
host to millions of British and European
tourist during the summer months. It offers
a wide expanse of beach and three piers
dating back to Victorian times that offer
enough amusements to keep most anyone satisfactorily
occupied.
Blackpool's popularity came with the arrival of the railroad in 1846 which
transformed a sleepy fishing village into a getaway for factory workers in
nearby Lancashire and Yorkshire. The towns landmark is the Blackpool Tower,
a replica of the Eiffel Tower built in the early 1890s. At the tower's base
you will find the Tower Circus and Ballroom. Of architectural note are the
Victorian Winter Gardens with its theatre and ballroom and the Town Hall.
Fun
seekers will want to visit the famous "Golden
Mile" at the heart of the Promenade
that runs the length of the beach that
is full of amusements and food stands.
Also Pleasure Beach offers a monorail,
roller coaster, Space Tower and other thrill
rides. Other attractions include Stanley
Park with a boating lake and the Grundy
Art Gallery. New shopping centre complexes
extend the lure of Blackpool beyond the
summer as does the fall "Illuminations" that
light up the Promenade from early September
through late October.
