Blackpool: Area, History and Background

Riding & Sons are well aquainted with the United Kingdom, it's cities and towns.

Below is some historic, cultural and background information about the area of Blackpool in the United Kingdom.

• Blackpool is a seaside town and unitary authority in Lancashire, England.
• It is situated along the coast of the Irish Sea.
• Blackpool has a population of 142,900, making it the fourth-largest settlement in North West England behind Manchester, Liverpool and Warrington.
• It lies 40 miles (64 km) north-west of the city of Manchester, and less than 30 miles north of Liverpool City centre.
• Blackpool is the fourth most densely populated local authority district of England & Wales outside Greater London.
• It rose to prominence as a major centre of tourism during the 19th century, particularly for the inhabitants of northern mill towns.
• Blackpool is believed to get its name from a historic drainage channel that ran over a peat bog, discharging discoloured water into the Irish Sea, which formed a black pool.
• People originating from it are called Sandgrown'uns, or Seasiders".
• Much of Blackpool's growth and character from the 1870s on was predicated on the town's pioneering use of electrical power.
• Though the Blackpool Urban Area extends beyond the statutory boundaries of it to encompass Fleetwood, Cleveleys, Thornton, Poulton-le-Fylde and Lytham St Anne's, it remains administratively separate.
• Between 1904 and 1974, Blackpool formed a county borough independent of the administrative county of Lancashire.
• With the passage of the Local Government Act 1972, it's county borough status was abolished and it was made part of the shire county of Lancashire.
• On 1 April 1998, however, Blackpool was made a unitary authority and re-formed as an autonomous local government unit.
• It remains part of Lancashire for ceremonial purposes however.
