Blackpool has long been a seaside venue for people of the North West of England as well as the working classes of the industrial Midlands. Since Victorian times, working people of Manchester have trekked to this nationally famous seaside town for fun and entertainment.
Blackpool's most notable landmark is the Tower, which celebrated its centenary in 1995, for which event it was painted gold. Also noteworthy for its autumn "illuminations" - a veritable fantasy of coloured lights and moving light-shows.
The town tends to be very crowded during peak summer season, and innumerable small Guest Houses and Bed & Breakfast houses have sprung up to meet the demand for accommodation.A charmingly antiquated beach-front electric tram service runs all day.
Much of the town is devoted to "The Pleasure Beach", a now extensive funfair, which boasts probably the biggest roller coaster ride in Great Britain - "The Pepsi Max Big One". All the usual seaside facilities can be found at Blackpool, from candy-floss, burger bars, and the speciality Blackpool Rock, which you can watch being made on the seafront.
The town has 3 piers, which host variety shows as well as amusement arcades and a ferris wheel. Alternatively, you can relax on Blackpool's extensive beaches, where donkey rides are provided for the children. Many refreshment Bars, Pubs and Hotel Bars available

Smiling is infectiuos you catch it like the flu, When someone smiled at me today, I started smiling too. I passed around the corner and someone saw my grin When he smiled I realized I'd passed it on to him. I thought about that smile then I realized its worth, A single smile, just like mine could travel round the earth. So, if you feel a smile begin, don't leave it undetected Let's start an epidemic quick, and get the world infected!
