Although Blackpool is not an old town, it has a wealth of fascinating buildings that represent its growth from a small village on the Lancashire coast to a centre for tourism. Visitors from nearby Liverpool and Manchester came by stagecoach in the eighteenth century but when the railways were built in the 1840s large numbers of holidaymakers were transported to the town and the population grew rapidly to cater for them. The famous promenade was developed, and piers, boarding houses, hotels, theatres, public houses, churches and a tramway system were built. Blackpool boomed and added bold buildings such as the Winter Gardens and Blackpool Tower. Twentieth-century Blackpool was Britain's most popular holiday resort, not least for the Pleasure Beach, and although numbers have declined in recent years, millions still visit every year.
