Blackpool Tower was built 1891–94 on the site of Dr Cocker's Aquarium and Menagerie, commissioned by the newly formed Blackpool Tower Company, which was chaired by Blackpool mayor John Bickerstaffe. Inspired by the Eiffel Tower, which had opened in 1889, Blackpool Tower was built to a design by Maxwell and Tuke and quickly became a popular attraction. Built of open steel girders, the tower measures 518 feet (158 m) from the ground to the top of its flagmast. The listed buildings include the tower itself, the ballroom, circus and roof gardens. |
