BLACKPOOL PROMENADE- The Blackpool Tower (518 ft high), built in 1895 and modeled on the Eiffel Tower in Paris, in Lancashire, England.
The Tower was built over the site of an aquarium which continued to be open during construction until the Tower itself was finished, upon which the original buildings were demolished and the present one built around the legs of the Tower. The tanks of the aquarium were incorporated into the new building and can still be seen to this day on the ground floor.
