Blackpool (United Kingdom)
Blackpool is a major seaside resort and borough of Lancashire, North West England. It has three piers. The one in the North was built in 1863, the middle one in 1868 and the southern one in 1893. Blackpool Tower was built in 1894. It is a 158 meter copy of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The exterior was covered in a bronze color to celebrate its 100th birthday.
Found Blackpool quite surreal. The grey weather and crumbling seaside attractions gave it almost an eerie appeal. Personal surprise was when I found the over-glittered ball room under the Blackpool Tower. A large group of pensioners was dancing there to the tunes of a piano player, surrounded by red and gold.
