England: Lancashire : Blackpool
|
|
Blackpool is a hugely popular seaside resort found on the North West coast of England in the county of Lancashire. It is the fourth largest settlement in the North West with a population just short of 150,000 but this is massively boosted by the enormous number of tourists staying in the great many guest houses and hotels found across the town.
Although the area has been inhabited for thousands of years Blackpool only really began to take shape in the Eighteenth Century when it started to become popular for sea bathing. By 1801 the town had a population of 473, four hotels and a few amenities and shortly after this the first holiday cottages began to appear. The most significant growth occured after the arrival of the railway and the great many mill workers that took advantage of the transport links.
By the end of the Nineteenth Century virtually everything we know today was in place and the population had grown to over 35,000. At the beginning of the Twentieth Century the Promenade was developed and the Pleasure Beach was established. The Illuminations began in 1912 and 1913 and were re-introduced in 1925. Ever since then Blackpool has continued to invest in it's attractions and this ensures that the town is forever the perfect place for the thrill seeker.
The list of notable people who were born, brought up or who lived in Blackpool is endless. The list includes many associated with the arts, in particular there are plenty of musicians and actors/actresses. Notables range from the famous clown Charlie Cairoli (who lived there from 1939) to working class hero and actor Ricky Tomlinson (famous for his role as Jim Royle in the hilarious sitcom The Royle Family).
