PI-,EASI'RE BEACH
At

Blackpool,
&B in rnany other
English
eeaside
reeorte,
the
many attractione
and
sea is just one of
certainl.y
not the most important one.
The moet important
attraction
i-n Blackpool
is
the
"Pleaeure
Beach",
in
faet, this is

the
moat popular:
tourlst

in Brltain,
bringing

In

of
over
100

exciting

with no fewer than
11 rol, Ier-coasters
"B1S (-rne" whlch

the longest and fasteet
rolLer-coaster
in
the
world;
there is aLso Europe- s onJy doub-Le-track roll,er

Not surprlslngly,

w i t h s o m a n y attr actions,
people
come to Blackpool all throrrgh the year
young peopfe tend to
ifhile
go for
adrenal_inepumping ridee at the pleasure beach, o]der fol_k come for
the
blngo,
the
casinos,
the
shows,
and the
famous
"IlLuminatione",
when buildinge along the promenade and
the seaehore are Iit
up with thousands of colored liehts.
As a reeort,

Blackpool j;s classically
Engfish;
indeed,
it
is northern Englieh, a place
for
ordinary
people from the industrral
ci_tiee of the nonth and middle
of England.

it's
al-so a place where old customs die hard;

the

of the English seaslde town.
