Blackpool Pleasure Beach - a photo on Flickriver

Blackpool Pleasure Beach

            Blackpool Pleasure Beach overlooks the promenade and the Irish Sea on one side, and acres of dwelling houses on the other side. The screams of joy, or fear, as the roller coasters dash by become lost in the quiet streets of domestic Blackpool. Cutting a swathe through the estates of houses in the Blackpool South branch, which leaves the Fylde-Coast main line at Kirkham. On 4th June Northern Rail Class 142 No. 142031 has just departed from Blackpool Pleasure Beach station with 2N10 1620 Blackpool South - Colne. The station opened in 1987 on the site of an earlier station, called Burlington Road Halt which was open between 1913 and 1949. Blackpool Tower, the traditional Grand National Roller Coaster (white frame) and the newer 'Big One' (orange frame) form a backdrop to the station.
