Blackpool is a large seaside town in the West of England, just north of Liverpool with a population of around 150,000 according to government statistics.
It is famous for its bracing air, its Pleasure Beach, its pier, its rock, its Tower, and since Victorian times has remained a popular seaside resort.
Blackpool Tower was first opened to the public on 14th May 1894, being styled on the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The tower is 158m high and is a grade 1 listed building.
When the then major (John Bickerstaffe) visited The Great Exhibition in Paris during 1889 he wanted a landmark that could inspire as much as the Eiffel Tower.
During the Second World War, the crows nest was removed so the tower could act as a radar station, but this proved unsuccessful.
The tower was kept in the Bickerstaffe family until 1964 when it was sold to EMI. The tower is now owned by Blackpool County Council who bought it in 2010 from Trevor Hemmings.
The Pleasure Beach is a privately owned family business, owned by the Thompson Family. It has over 5.5 million visitors a year and is the most visited amusement park in the UK, and in the top 20 in the world.
It was started in 1896 by Alderman William George Bean, after he failed in advertising in New York. In 1903 he purchased 30 acres of land in order to make adults feel like children again, and was it ever a success?
In 1923 some 44 acres of land was reclaimed from the sea, and the park was moved to its present location.
In 1929, William died of pneumonia and left the beach to his daughter, Lillian, who was married to a businessman called Leonard Thompson. He took over the business and it still remains with the family.
