It’s a easy decision for me as I’m from Blackpool so it’s something that I’ve grown up with from a young age. Opened on 14 May 1894 the tower was based on the Eiffel Tower. Standing at 158m (518ft 9 inches) the tower can be seen from most areas of Lancashire and even on a clear day from Liverpool and Manchester.

As well as the tower the building below is a large building with many areas including a circus, aquairum, resturants, At the top of the tower there is a walk of faith installed in 1998 which is a glass walkway that is 2 inches thick.
