Blackpool


We finished up wandering around Derbyshire and then headed for Blackpool on the West coast. We arrived in time to see the "illuminations" as they call them. This was a Friday and so there were fireworks as well.
Blackpool has a Tower that they erected to have as an observation outlook.

Here's a tram car dressed up as a boat. It's hard to describe the bazaar scene of Blackpool, it's game arcades, cotton candy places, T-shirt and whatnot shops -- the sights and sounds of one big carnival and gloriously tacky. The street runs at least 3 miles long and all lit up.

Heeeeer's Mooky - Britian's favourite clown!
