Blackpool

The sunny seaside town of Blackpool is situated in the Lancashire area, on the North West Coast.

Known for its prominence as a major centre of English tourism Blackpool rose to success in the 1840’s after its railways were built. This connected it to the industrial regions of Northern England making visiting easier and cheaper.

By the late 1800’s Blackpool had developed to include a promenade complete with piers, fortune tellers, public houses, trams, donkey rides, fish and chip shops and theatres, making visiting the pretty coastal town a real treat for families.

Since then, its attractions have continued to develop to include some major attractions and landmarks including the Blackpool Tower, Blackpool Illuminations and the Winter Gardens. Blackpool’s urban fabric remains untouched and firmly rooted in the tourism sector, attracting millions of visitors each year.

The performers of Blackpool’s stages, shows and dance recitals aren’t the only stars the town has to offer, you’re not short of talented local tradesmen either.

From electricians in Southshore to roofers in Squiregate, take your pick of local tradesmen in our Blackpool directory.
