This view was taken from the big wheel on the Central Pier looking north towards Blackpool Tower..

Our trip to Blackpool was of course primarily for the roller coasters at the Pleasure Beach. However, we did snap some trams whilst we were there and some trains on the way. This page is just up for our friends to see.

The Imperial Hotel. Last year we had to go through lots of security checks as the Conservative Party were to hold their conference in Blackpool. When the political parties have their summer conferences in Blackpool, this is the hotel they stay at. Numerous Prime Ministers and members of the Royal Family have stayed here over the years..

| The Pepsi Max, Europe's biggest roller coaster can be seen sticking out above the horizon in the background (above). To get some idea of the scale, look at the size of the people in the foreground. |
