In the late eighteenth century in Britain gaining popularity rest on the water and on seaside resorts. Many small seaside towns become popular resorts. This happened with Blackpool. Because the rest of the sea in the nineteenth century assumed not tanning in bikini on the beach, and a leisurely walk along the beach, the embankments are the main streets of seaside cities. In Blackpool this street Promenade and pier - North, Central and South.

North, as the name implies, is located North of the other. He is the oldest and the longest of the piers. The North pier was built in 1863, and in the construction process it became clear that the planned height of the pier will need to increase by almost a meter. Now the pier height is 15 meters above the water level during low tide, the length of 500 metres. On the pier there is a café, tea room, slot machines, carousel, etc.

Central pier was built in 1868. While the North pier offered fine entertainment for the aristocracy, Central pier was designed for audiences simpler: dance halls, then roller skating, pier pleasure ships. In 1990 on the pier were installed Ferris wheel, which had to strengthen the Central part of the pier.

South pier was opened in 1893 and until 12930 year was called "Victoria pier". It is shorter and wider than the other two piers, as originally designed for a larger number of pavilions with entertainment, shops, etc. Now here are mainly different rides.
