This town rose to popularity as a major tourism destination during the 19th century with over 6 million people visiting Blackpool every year.

Blackpool is the only British resort with three piers: the North, South, and Central Piers. The North Pier is the oldest and largest of the three piers in Blackpool. Opened in 1863, this pier's name derives from a fact that it is the northernmost part of the pier and is close to the Blackpool North railway station. The Central Pier is between the North and South Pier and was opened in 1868. This pier is known for its amusement parks and promenade.
