About Fencing in Blackpool
Blackpool in Lancashire grew from a small coastal hamlet into Britain's most popular seaside resort after the railway reached the town in 1846, opening up cheap and fast travel for workers from the mill towns of Lancashire and Yorkshire who flocked there during their annual wakes weeks holidays. The town's famous illuminations began in 1879, when eight arc lamps were switched on along the promenade, described at the time as artificial sunshine, and the display grew over the following decades into the elaborate autumn lights show still switched on every year today. Blackpool Tower opened in 1894, inspired by the Eiffel Tower in Paris and instantly becoming the town's defining landmark, and the Pleasure Beach amusement park followed in 1896, growing over time into one of the most visited attractions in the country. Generations of working class holidaymakers built Blackpool's reputation as the archetypal British seaside town, a character it has kept even as tourism patterns have changed.
