Blackpool History and landmarks:
Winter Gardens: In
1896, the WinterGardens opened its huge Empress
Ballroom and adjacent Indian Lounge. The Tower
Company responded by rebuilding its own pavilion
as the famous Tower Ballroom, designed by
Frank Matcham and opened in 1899. The same
year the Alhambra opened on the site of the
Prince of Wales Theatre (now Woolworth's).
The Golden Mile: In
1897 the development of the Golden Mile began
when the Corporation banned stalls from the
beach and traders moved into the gardens of
houses on the Promenade. 1899 saw the completion
of a three-tier Promenade and a sea wall between
Carleton Terrace (cocker Square) and the Gynn
at a cost of £144'716.
Blackpool Tower:
It was conceived
as an answer to the Eiffel Tower in Paris
and in its sheltering arms a number of amusement
attractions sprang up so it could continue
to make money in bad weather. The tower was
intended to copy Paris' famous landmark, and
was even supposed to originally be called
"Blackpool Eiffel Tower." Like the
CN Tower in Toronto, the Blackpool Tower has
a "walk of faith." Parts of the
floor are made from clear material that you
can walk over while looking down.
Blackpool
Tower, made of steel and cast iron, stands
just under 519' tall and weighs 2,586 tons.
Building work started in September 1891
with the opening on 14 May 1894. The complex
below is a mecca for holidaymakers and has
always featured the most popular and up-to-date
attractions.
