Blackpool Tower

Blackpool Tower was built in 1894, with its inspiration taken from the Eiffel Tower in Paris which was built only 5 years before.

The tower houses a circus, aquarium and the famous victorian ballroom which is still used regularly today. Other attractions include the glass floor at the top of tower which visitors can walk on if they dare! - Visit the Blackpool Tower website.

Blackpool Pleasure Beach

Pleasure Beach was created in 1896, shortly after the tower was completed with the intention to create an American-style theme park in the UK.
