Blackpool is a seaside town in Lancashire, England. Lying along the coast of the Irish Sea, it has a population of 140,000, making it the fourth-largest settlement in North West England behind Manchester, Liverpool and Warrington. It lies 40 miles north west of the city of Manchester.
Blackpool rose to prominence as a major centre of tourism during the 19th century, particularly for the inhabitants of northern mill towns.
Greater Blackpool is the informal
name for the urban area surrounding Blackpool in Lancashire, England. Blackpool
Fleetwood
Lytham St Annes
Poulton-le-Fylde
Thornton-Cleveleys
Blackpool itself has a population of 140,000, although during the summer
months the population of the town can rise to three times this figure.
Lytham St Annes is a conurbation in the Fylde district of Lancashire, England. The neighbouring towns of Lytham and St-Annes-on-Sea (the latter nearly always abbreviated to St Annes) have grown together and now form a seaside resort, sometimes seen as a smaller and more genteel alternative to nearby Blackpool. Lytham and St Annes, together with the smaller communities of Ansdell and Fairhaven, retain their individuality and are described in more detail below.
The towns are situated on the Fylde coast, south of Blackpool at the point where the coastline turns east to form the estuary of the River Ribble leading inland to Preston. St Annes is situated on the northern side of the turning and, like Blackpool, overlooks the Irish Sea, whereas Lytham is on the eastern side and overlooks the Ribble estuary.
Thornton-Cleveleys is an unparished area in the English local government district of Wyre, Lancashire, covering the towns of Thornton and Cleveleys. It forms part of the Greater Blackpool area. The civil parish of Thornton became an urban district in 1900, and was renamed Thornton-Cleveleys in 1927.
Fleetwood is located on the Fylde peninsula, eight miles north of Blackpool, on the western side of the mouth of the River Wyre. The town itself is on a peninsula, almost two miles wide, bounded to the west by the Irish Sea, to the north by Morecambe Bay, and to the east by the River Wyre. Access to Fleetwood is thus restricted, and for many years there were only two roads into and out of the town. A large sandbank, the North Wharf, extends some two and a quarter miles north into Morecambe Bay, and is exposed at low tide. The river channel forms the eastern boundary of the bank. Together with the larger Bernard Wharf on the other side of the river, this makes navigation of the river difficult. Conversely, the port is highly sheltered from the prevailing westerly winds.
Poulton-le-Fylde is a town within the Wyre borough of Lancashire, England. It is situated about 5 kilometres to the northeast of Blackpool town and the Irish Sea coast.
The town gained its name from the Wyre estuary, which lies less than 2 kilometres to the north-east at Skippool. The name Poulton was created by combining the Old English words Pol, for pool or creek, and Tun,A saxon word meaning a farmstead or enclosure. Thus the name signifies settlement by the pool. In 1842 the suffix 'le-Fylde' was added to distinguish the village from Poulton-le-Sands, a community since renamed to Morecambe and Poulton located on the Wirral. The suffix comes from the Fylde peninsula, although the town is not in the modern day local government area of Fylde, which covers only the southern part of that peninsula.
