Since Victorian times Blackpool has been the
holiday centre for the north of England and the
industrial holidays in the textile mills of Lancashire
saw a massive influx of people looking for entertainment
and relaxation - a change from the harshness of their
working lives.

Blackpool has
moved with the times and has changed to meet the
needs of its visitors but it still provides good
reasonably-priced accommodation and
entertainment which is why it is still Britain's
most popular resort.
In Autumn, the famous "Illuminations" provide a
further boost to the tourist trade and early
evening sees queues of vehicles travelling
slowly (very slowly) along the seafront to see
this annual spectacle.
