It achieved this enviable position by consistently providing attractions that fascinate the millions of visitors who flock to it annually. Blackpool, as a popular resort, dates back to 1781, when Thomas Clifton of Lytham laid a road across the marsh from Preston. The foundation stone of the Blackpool Tower was laid in 1891, and the tower was officially opened on 14 May 1894.By George Allsop, Henrik Boye, John Hinde - 1984.

Blackpool Tramway Action (2012)Scenes recorded during a visit to Blackpool and Fleetwood on Sunday 15th July 2012, of various bits and pieces of action on the tramway. Several of the new 'Flexity' trams are mostly seen, but 'heritage' cars Brush 631 and Box 40 also make appearances whilst in operation during the weekend 'heritage' service (Brush 631 being a substitute for a failed 'boat' 230). Locations are North Pier, Little Bispham, Pleasure Beach and all other places in between. We also head to Fleetwood for the 2012 Tram Sunday event (which very luckily was blessed with fairly decent weather, in a contrast to the scenes recorded 12 months ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ig_guwWNlbA Blackpool Tramway Action (17th July 2011)), where to the strains of 'Rule Britannia', we get a look at the recently repainted 'Wide-door' Balloon 700 and 'heritage Balloon' 717 on display at Fleetwood Ferry.By David Hennessey - July 15, 2012.

Blackpool Tramway 131st Anniversary Celebrations (2016)Glad to be back doing railways on this channel, and kicking off with a cracker. This will be divided into two videos due to the sheer amount of action going on during the two days! Around this time last year, Blackpool Tramway celebrated 130 years since the tramway first opened in 1885. Last year, they put on without a doubt, the best tramway event Blackpool Tramway has seen for a long time. Plenty of trams out and plenty going on. This year, Blackpool Heritage Tram Tours promised an event even better than last year and boy did they deliver! Like last year, plenty of trams came out (both stored and active) and plenty of course was going on during the first day alone. I was also privileged to be able to do tours of BOTH Rigby Road and Starr Gate depots. I booked my place on the first tour of the morning, the 10am and got to finally do something I have wanted do for years. These tours are included straight after the departures of the trams from Rigby Road, opened by the head of heritage, Bryan Lindop. So many trams featured during this event. Trams at Rigby Road included some examples not seen for years, recent arrivals and of course, the usual fleet. We see the trams at Rigby Road, Blundell Street, around the promenade and onboard various trams during the afternoon. We also sadly see Twin Set 2 at North Pier, being dragged back to base after it catching fire at Gynn Square. Taken Saturday 24th September 2016.By Videography by gregster295 - September 24, 2016.
