Blackpool i/ˈblækpuːl/ is a seaside resort in Lancashire, England, on England's northwest coast. The town is on the Irish Sea, between the Ribble and Wyre estuaries, 17.5 miles (28.2 km) northwest of Preston, 27 miles (43 km) north of Liverpool, 30 miles (48 km) northwest of Bolton and 40 miles (64 km) northwest of Manchester. It had an estimated population of 142,065 at the 2011 Census.
Throughout the Middle Ages and Early Modern period, Blackpool was a coastal hamlet in Lancashire's Hundred of Amounderness, and remained such until the mid-18th century when it became fashionable in England to travel to the coast in the summer to bathe in sea water to improve well-being. In 1781, visitors attracted to Blackpool's 7-mile (11 km) sandy beach were able to use a new private road, built by Thomas Clifton and Sir Henry Hoghton. Stagecoaches began running to Blackpool from Manchester in the same year, and from Halifax in 1782. In the early 19th century, Henry Banks and his son-in-law John Cocker erected new buildings in Blackpool such that its population grew from less than 500 in 1801 to over 2,500 in 1851. St John's Church in Blackpool was consecrated in 1821.
South Pier may refer to:
North Pier is the most northerly of the three coastal piers in Blackpool, England. Built in the 1860s, it is also the oldest and longest of the three. Although originally intended only as a promenade, competition forced the pier to widen its attractions to include theatres and bars. Unlike Blackpool's other piers, which attracted the working classes with open air dancing and amusements, North Pier catered for the "better-class" market, with orchestra concerts and respectable comedians. Until 2011, it was the only Blackpool pier that consistently charged admission.
The pier is designated by English Heritage as a Grade II listed building, due to its status as the oldest surviving pier created by Eugenius Birch. As of 2015 it is still in regular use, despite having suffered damage from fires, storms and collisions with boats. Its attractions include bars, a theatre, a carousel and an arcade. One of the oldest remaining Sooty glove puppets is on display commemorating Harry Corbett buying the original puppet there.

Noisey Blackpool: The Controversial Rise of Blackpool Grime, hosted by Poet and starring Afghan Dan, Soph Aspin and Little T. The last few years have seen a huge resurgence in UK grime and there are now a whole bunch of talented MCs around the UK with growing fanbases. However, when a Youtube channel called Blackpool Grime Media, started getting a lot of attention earlier this year, it took a lot of people by surprise. Not only were most of the MCs on there extremely young, but they all seems to be insulting each other using some very offensive language. Plus the amount the views they were getting was insane. Noisey sent a team up to follow the three key players in the scene - Little T, Soph Aspin and Afghan Dan.Why was this happening? Why Blackpool? Was the beef real and did these kid...
We went to Blackpool, England! Our one and only purpose in Blackpool was to visit the arcades and experience what British arcades were like. The first arcade we went to was North Pier Amusements which is located on the North Pier in Blackpool, England :P. We ended up playing a variety of games and even a few we have never played before. We also had to give the notoriously rigged United Kingdom claw machines a try. How much will we win? Will we even be able to win?

The horror Crypt has been on the seafront side of the Pleasure Beach for many years.This year it has had a fantastic refurb with new monsters and scenes to enjoy.Join me now as I take my first look at this classic attraction.
The delights of 1950s Blackpool holidays are vibrantly revisited in John Taylor’s fondly remembered travelogue, produced for British Transport Films. By hiding his camera in a box, Taylor managed to capture the myriad minor joys that constitute the typical Blackpool break, evocatively captured in sunny Kodachrome cinematography. The real genius of the film, though, lies in Ralph Shelton’s wonderfully rhythmic editing, which marries lively jazz standards to the dynamic exploits of Lancashire’s vivacious holidaymakers. Holiday is also available on BFI's DVD set British Transport Films Vol. 2

Blackpool; The pioneer of the family resort, slacking but still effective towards tourists. Is the media bias towards the town? Can Blackpool save itself, or has it already been saved? *We do not own any of the copyrighted content used; all rights go the artists and owners*
Onride footage of the Log Flume at the South Pier in Blackpool, Lancashire, UK. This ride was made by Reverchon.
In 1994, BBC ran a Blackpool theme night. The most interesting programme on it, for me, was this documentary where actor David Thewlis explores some of the odder parts of the town. Some of these places are gone now so it's a bit of a time piece. We see Ripley's Forteana museum, Louis Tussaud's Anatomy Exhibition, The Tower Aquarium and tons more besides.

One day after closing I was lying on me nest,
When Stez shouts "get yer bags on, come on outside."
So I grabbed me stripy tank-top, I 'ad beer stains on me vest,
An' I said "best get some cans in, it's a long ride."
Well, we drove along the M6, chuckin' cans at other folk,
An' stopped at all the services that took us.
Picked up some fit hitch-hikers,
An' we told 'em filthy jokes,
An' piled them in the back seet fer to fuck us.
We're going down Blackpool, alright,
We're going down Blackpool, fer a pint,
We're going down Blackpool, alight,
To see the lights...
Mutley's in the drivin' seat,
Stez Styx is in the front,
An' we're going down to Blackpool,
To up some fuckin' cunt.
An' Peter's in the back seat,
An' his crack is goin' "gerrit"
He's got his finger up her like a ferret.
Now ten miles outside Blackpool and we had some real bad luck,
Mutley shouts "O fuck, we've got a flat."
And now Peter chucked the jack at some cunt ten mile down the road,
So we made him go an' get the fucker back.
The twat.
We're going down Blackpool, alright,
We're going down Blackpool for a fight,
We're going down Blackpool, alright
To see the lights...
