Blackpool is a seaside town, downmarket and proud of it, full of mass-produced trinkets, over-priced and inedible food, loud muzak and drunken revellers, plus the occasional disapproving pensioner who remembers it (inaccurately) from the 1950s before the country went to the dogs. And the Tower is the neon-lit centrepiece.

Blackpool Tower was built in the 1890s and inspired by the Eiffel Tower in Paris it stands 158m high. It was the tallest man made structure in Britain when it opened.
