    • Blackpool Tower opened on 14th May 1894 and towering over Blackpools Golden mile it has to be the most famous Seaside landmark in the United Kingdom and of course it's not just the tower that people visit, there's the Aquarium, the Circus and the famous Tower Ballroom with that magnificent rising organ.
    The tower is certainly worth a look (you can't miss it) but dare you go all the way to the top and feel it sway in the wind??

    • The Plaque on Little Marton Windmill on Preston New Road says "This windmill was given in 1937 by Cornelius Bagot of Blackpool. To be maintained as a memorial to Allen Clarke, author, journalist & Lancashire dialect story writer who was born in Bolton in 1863 & died in Blackpool in 1935 author of "Windmill Land" "Windmill Land Stories" "Moorlands and Memories" founder of the Lancashire Authors Association and the Blackpool Ramble Club"

    It is used as a store for a local Scout group but has all ways been my favorite landmark of Blackpool

     This brings back such good memories. The last time I was in England visiting my mother, we went to Blackpool where she had worked as a young girl in her early teens. I took her to revisit Blackpool Tower and we loved every moment. Ellsasha.    		Michael_D Thu Feb 28, 2008 15:17 UTC
