Blackpool
lies in the north west of England on the Fylde Coast of the
county of Lancashire and is "Britain's undisputed capital
of entertainment". After London, Blackpool is the most
popular tourist destination in the whole of England with 6 miles
of beach. Trams - the last of their kind in England - run along
the promenade. It is famous for its Golden Mile of funfair attractions
on the South Shore, its famous 518 feet high tower based on
the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the illuminations which attract
thousands of visitors each year. Blackpool has attracted visitors
since the 1720's. The town's first guest house for visitors
opened in 1735 and as early as 1780.
