Blackpool Guest Houses

Blacpool Guest houses are great places to live. 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 was spared serious damage during World War II, and in the decade afterwards, it continued to attract more visitors, reaching a zenith of 17 million per year. However, several factors combined to make this growth untenable. The decline of the textile industry led to a de-emphasis of the traditional week-long break. But still many wedding and stag nights have stays here, and other hols. The rise of package holidays sent many of Blackpool's traditional visitors abroad, where the weather was more reliably warm and dry, and improved road communications, epitomized by the construction of the M55 motorway in 1975, made Blackpool more feasible as a day trip rather than an overnight stay. The economy, however, remains relatively undiversified, and firmly rooted in the tourism sector. Blackpool Guest houses can be by the beach or not, and can be famous or new, some are B& Bs some are mentioned in comedy acts, and some in tour guides.
