Blackpool

It is the main settlement in the Borough of Blackpool, borough of the same name. Blackpool was originally a small hamlet; it began to grow in the mid-eighteenth century, when sea bathing for health purposes became fashionable.

The town saw large growth during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods. By 1951 its popu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
