North Pier
The North Pier was the first of Blackpool's 3 piers - opened on 21st May 1863. It is 1,405 feet long, 27 feet wide and built from 12,000 tons of metal it claimed, in its day, to be 'the finest, strongest and most beautiful marine parade in Europe'. It has suffered damage over the years and resultant modifications. and today the pier has several bars, a beer garden, a 1500-seat theatre, and an amusement arcade - all the typical type of seaside pier attractions. Its probably the most traditional of the three piers and retains mor Victorian charm than the others.
