Moving to Blackpool?

The epicentre of kitsch in Britain, Blackpool is famous worldwide for its garish illuminations and thrilling theme parks. Not many of the millions of visitors to the town every year know that it gets its name from a historic drainage channel that ran over a peat bog, discharging discoloured water into the Irish Sea: hardly a glamorous beginning.

Black Poole emerged in the sixteenth century as a few farmsteads along the Lancashire coast, but it was not until the eighteenth century, when sea bathing became fashionable, that the town really started to boom. Modish visitors made the arduous journey to take the waters, thought at the time to help cure disease, and in 1781 the first road from Manchester was built. Henry Lane, known as the Father of Blackpool, began his hotel empire in 1819. The arrival of the railway in 1846 sealed the town’s position as one of the major resorts on the northwest coast. When Lancashire mill owners shut their factories for a week’s repairs each year, the workers flocked to Blackpool. Each factory had a different week off, so the town was flooded with visitors throughout the summer. The famous piers were built over the next fifty years – this is still the only town in Britain with three piers.

The town was a pioneer of electricity: in 1879 this became the first municipality in the world to have electric street lighting, forerunner of the famous illuminations, and in 1885 the tramway was laid. The town only grew in popularity: between the world wars it attracted over seven million visitors a year. It was so well known that Adolf Hitler is said to have left it alone deliberately, planning to use it as a holiday getaway. In recent decades it has faded somewhat, overtaken by cheap package holidays, but it continues to hold massive appeal to tourists, despite the sullen weather. Temperatures here never go much above 20°C and like most British resorts, it’s more likely to rain than shine.

The first destination for tourists is inevitably the illuminations. Seven miles of lighted displays and collages line the sea front from late August to early November using six million bulbs. The Great Promenade Show is a series of art installations along the south promenateWhen you’re tired of that, head to the pleasure Beach, home of Ice Blast, Valhalla, the Pepsi Max Big One and nine other rollercoasters! IF you haven’t had enough thrills, head to the theme park on the South Pier. There’s also a ferris wheel on the Central Pier. Blackpool Tower is modelled on the Eiffel Tower and is home to restaurants, clubs and the stunning Tower Ballroom, scene of the annual Blackpool Dance Festival.

At some point, you’ll want to hit the beach to grab some food and a beer – this is said to be the best place in the North for fish and chips. Then hit the town: as the gay capital of the north, Blackpool has some fantastic clubs and bars. Funny Girls is a fabulous drag cabaret, with top quality entertainers from all over Europe; other popular places include Mardi Gras, the Flying Handbag and FG2. For some old fashioned fun, try a variety show: Ken Dodd and Ray Chubby Brown are regular performers.
