This pier used to charge to go on it but no more, reports are it has new owners and they have plans to improve it, lets hope they dont lose anything of the character of the place. It has less razmatazz and rides than the other two piers on the seafront and retains a bit of old world charm like... More

I like a good laugh and can usually see the funny side of anything but... More

At the pier's end, on the left, is an old-fashioned penny arcade: all orginal XIX Century attractions: I remember the jolly Jack Tar, "What the Butler Did Not See", and grapple-hooks. Chatted with the owner, a pleasant fellow who claims the largest collection in England. Just simple [inexpensive] fun. More

It feels like a ghost has just ran through it. It is deserted so why not put atleat one interesting thing on it to bring travellers onto it? It is a perfectly well built pier with a great view but why not put something different on it? Much has been improved in Blackpool in the past year and it is... More
