Blackpool B&B is a traditional and favourite holiday of many years passed, for people including myself, and other. Blackpool is a seaside town in Lancashire, England. Lying along the coast of the Irish Sea, it has a population of 142,900, making it the fourth-largest settlement in North West England.
Blackpool
rose to prominence as a major centre of tourism during the 19th century, particularly
for the inhabitants of northern mill towns.
Blackpool is believed to get its name from a historic drainage channel (possibly Spen Dyke) that ran over a peat bog, discharging discoloured water into the Irish Sea, which formed a black pool (on the other side of the sea, Dublin is derived from the Irish for "black pool"). Another explanation is that the local dialect for stream was "pul" or "poole", hence "Black poole".
People originating from Blackpool are called "Sand Grown" or "Sandgrown'uns".
* Blackpool Tower, opened in 1894; it has been a dominant landmark of the Blackpool skyline since that time. Inspired by the Eiffel Tower of Paris, France, it is 158 metres (518 ft 9 in) tall. Beneath the tower is a complex of leisure facilities, entertainment venues and restaurants, including the world famous Tower Ballroom and Tower Circus.
* North Pier - The northernmost of Blackpool's three piers. It includes a small shopping arcade, a small tramway and the North Pier Theatre toward the end of the pier. The pier end also used to have a helicopter pad, but this was damaged at Christmas 1997 by a windstorm and it collapsed into the Irish Sea.
* Central Pier - The middle pier, includes a large ferris wheel and shops.
* South Pier - The southernmost pier. Almost directly opposite the Pleasure Beach, it houses a theme park.
* Pleasure Beach Blackpool - a famous theme park. Rides include the Pepsi Max Big One, which was the world's fastest and tallest complete circuit rollercoaster between 1994 and 1996.
* The Winter Gardens is a large entertainment and conference venue in the town
centre. Includes the Opera House (one of the largest theatres in Europe), Pavilion
Theatre, Empress Ballroom, Spanish Hall, Arena and Olympia. Dublin according to
some translations also means Blackpool, Blaackpool is famous in Briotain as the
Las Vegas of the North. Les Dawason often joked about Blackpool land ladies, and
other comedians, and many kept going back to these places for top holidays.
