BLACKPOOL, WITH ITS EIFFEL TOWER.
Blackpool was named from a peaty brook, long ago, like so many others, transformed into a sewer. Its fine sands make it one of the best bathing places on the northwest coast, and the tonic breezes from the Irish Sea are wonderfully invigorating. It is happy in the possession of three piers: North Pier 1,700 feet long, Central Pier 2,000 feet, and the Victoria Pier 1,000 feet. There are winter gardens, an aquarium, Claremont Park of 60 acres, and another recreation ground of 33 acres, besides the usual public amusements. The most striking feature is the Eiffel Tower, erected on the sea-front in 1892 in imitation of the Great Paris Exhibition structure. The Blackpool Tower rises from the midst of a fine quadrangle of shops, and is about 500 feet high, with the usual hydraulic lifts.
