Blackpool Illuminations
Blackpool Illuminations were first lit on the 18th September 1879 and stretch from Starr Gate in South Shore until Bispham in the North shore. Illuminations are 8km long and it is said they use over 1 million light bulbs!
When I was a child my Father would drive us from Manchester to Blackpool down the M55 to Starr Gate. We would drive slowly along the prom glaring at the lights as we went. (I think we only every stopped once to go in an arcade however we loved it.) There are collections along the way for everyone to offer a small donation that will contribute to the continued maintenance of the lights.
