Blackpool gets 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 (on the other side of the sea, “Dublin” (Dubh Linn) is derived from the Irish for “black pool”)
Sir Hiram Maxim's Captive Flying Machine, known as the Flying Machines, is the oldest amusement park ride in Europe, having opened in August 1904.
Blackpool airport was the first passenger airport in the UK.
In 1885, Blackpool introduced the world’s first permanent electric street tramway.
Despite being a base for the production of Wellington Bombers, Hitler wouldn't bomb Blackpool, as he wanted to have a swastika flying from the tower
Blackpool has more hotel beds than in the whole of the hotels in Portugal.

Will it be likely to be pay on gate? Tempted to go but cannot be arsed to go on a Tuesday night if it’s called off
More hotel beds than Portugal you say, well fancy that.

That's just out of convenience, so he's still close to Morcambe.
Hull City’s first game of the 2022 at Blackpool on Saturday looks to be going ahead as planned after the coronavirus situation at the east Yorkshire club has improved over the past week.
There were fears that the New Year’s Day contest at Bloomfield Road would go the same way as the Boxing Day visit of Blackburn Rovers and Wednesday night’s Yorkshire derby at Sheffield United in being postponed.
Thankfully for City, the Tigers have seen players return to training this week and with head coach Grant McCann set to take his usual pre-match press conference on Friday morning, the outlook is positive for the 3pm kick-off taking place.

Blackpool is the end of the line. It is the English Siberia. It is pure torture. Hateful, tasteless, witless, bleak, boring, dirty, tat — It has nothing. I loathe every disgusting minute of it.

I once stayed in a hotel in Blackpool, well B&B really, that had more ****ing tech in it than an Elon Musk satellite!
Looked like a normal B&B from the outside, but the room had some type of touch pad thing controlling everything including the tv at the end of the jacuzzi bath, lights, curtains…every ****ing thing. I couldn’t figure it out sober so I had no ****ing chance when I got back! Had to go to sleep with all the lights on a the jacuzzi bubbling away with its lights changing every few seconds!
They also had an honesty bar…which was nice.
I actually think we all might have been too honest, but I do know before I went to bed I ticked my breakfast selection.
Breakfast just kept coming and coming…turns out I couldn’t decide so I’d ticked everything! The owners were amused enough to ****ing cook me everything too! (Did most of it)
