Blackpool famous for it's fun fares and is acclaimed as a working class resort with 7 miles of beaches and has many sports facilities and other amusements, it was the first place that really prospered from the railways being invented as it was considered 'the place to go' to have a small holiday, travel abroad was still expensive and difficult but thanks to the trains it was possible to spend a few days in Blackpool with little transport or financial hassle.
