Leggi e ascolta. Hello from Blackpool Blackpool facts Location: North-west coast of England Population: 140,000 Tourism: 10 million people visit Blackpool every year. It’s Britain’s top seaside resort. People go to Blackpool for its roller coasters, shows and beaches. History: In the 18th century Blackpool was a small seaside resort for rich people. When the railway arrived in 1846, it became a popular holiday resort for workers in the area. Interesting fact: An American tourist spent 47 days on a roller coaster in Blackpool. That’s a world record! High Five Level 2 . Unit 3, Culture club p. 41 © Oxford University Press PHOTOCOPIABLE Hi, We had a great time in Blackpool. The weather was mixed. The first two days it was sunny and warm. We went to the beach and I swam in the sea, but it was very cold! Then the weather changed. It was cloudy and windy. Typical British summer! But that wasn’t a problem in Blackpool. There are always lots of things to do! First we visited the Blackpool Tower. It’s 158 m high and it’s over 100 years old. It’s very similar to the Eiffel Tower in Paris. We went to the top. When it’s windy the tower moves 4 or 5 cm. Mum was terrified. The Skywalk at the top of the tower is incredible. It’s an observation balcony. The walls and floor are glass and the views of the city are fantastic. I took lots of photos and put them on my Facebook page. Check them out! The next day we went to the Pleasure Beach. It’s a cool amusement park with 125 rides! My favourite was the Big One! It’s the best roller coaster in Britain. The top speed is 140 km per hour! Incredible! We also saw the famous Blackpool Illuminations. It’s a fantastic light show. There are over one million lights! There are lights on the tower, the roller coasters, the houses, the hotels, the cars and the trains… There are also incredible laser shows with cool music. The Illuminations are from August to November and three and a half million people come to see them every year! The first light show was in 1879. There were only eight electric lamps, but thousands of people came to see them, because electric lamps were new! Jack High Five Level 2 .

Moor Park, Blackpool
Moor Park, Blackpool SuDS used Swales Basins Benefits Control of runoff to greenfield runoff rate. Wetland features manage runoff to ensure clean water enters the natural drainage system. Significantly lower cost of installation over a conventional piped or underground drainage. Massive biodiversity potential. Engagement with school staff and students. Anticipated involvement of local people and potentially Moor Park Friends Group. 1. Location Junction of Bispham Road and Bristol Avenue, north of Blackpool town centre, Lancashire, next to the former TVR car factory. 2. Description The Moor Park development is a large healthcare building, incorporating leisure and library uses as well as new play areas and a multi-use games area. It is set in the north-west corner of an existing park, Moor Park, in the residential neighbourhood of Bispham. The building is served by a large (200 space) car parking area. It lies at roughly 10m AOD and is broadly flat, falling to the south. The development site is around 3.4ha, including the surrounding earthworks and ‘soft’ play areas. Surface water drainage is to a combined sewer running underneath the site (pre-existing drainage). Soils are mixed, but incorporate a high proportion of sands. 1 Case study www.susdrain.org Figure 1 Moor Park masterplan (David Singleton) 2 Case study www.susdrain.org Figure 2 Building layout (David Singleton) 3 Case study www.susdrain.org 3. Main SuDS used From the very early stages of the project, the proposed location of such a large development in a designated green space demanded a high level of sensitivity and a landscape led approach.

The Most Deprived LSOA, and of 32844Th the Least Deprived;
The English Indices of Deprivation 2015 Blackpool Position Report Introduction The 2015 English Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) was released on 30th September 2015, updating the 2010 Index. It is made up of indicators covering 7 topics, or “domains”, which are weighted according to their perceived contribution towards deprivation as follows: Individual indicators within the index are subject to change depending on the availability of the data, but DCLG treats the different iterations of the index as comparable. The indices therefore show change over time in relative deprivation levels. The index ranks four different geographies: . Lower Super Output Areas (LSOAs) – these are units of geography smaller than Council wards and contain around 1500 residents. A rank of 1 indicates the most deprived LSOA, and of 32844th the least deprived; . Local Authority (LA) level, based on an aggregated version of the LSOA data, where a rank of 1 indicates the most deprived local authority area, and 326th indicates the least deprived; . LEP area (ranked from 1-39); . CCG area (ranked from 1-209). This report covers the headline LSOA level and LA level rankings. There are several ways of measuring deprivation in all of these types of area. Explanations of the different rankings are provided throughout the report. Indices of Deprivation 2015 - Corporate Development and Engagement Team Key Findings . All overall measures at the Local Authority level show Blackpool has become relatively more deprived since 2004; . The 2015 index ranks Blackpool as the most deprived of 326 Local Authority areas in England, based on both the average LSOA score and concentration of deprivation measures; .

Sculptural Serenity: an Open Air Extravaganza on Blackpool’S Promenade Introduction
SCULPTURAL SERENITY: AN OPEN AIR EXTRAVAGANZA ON BLACKPOOL’S PROMENADE INTRODUCTION When the opportunity to travel comes back into our lives in 2021, outdoor space, and the chance to explore new facets within it, are likely to be highly valued. The so-called ‘staycation’ is predicted to be the number one holiday trend this year and we may, for some time, need to do our own thing, keeping our distance from others, to keep everyone safe. If there is one thing Blackpool – and the rest of our Fylde coastline – has in abundance, it is open space. We are all said to have fallen in love with nature during lockdowns and our fabulous seafront offers every opportunity to explore its call, whether you listen to crashing waves, watch the sand change colour as the tide recedes, or pay attention to the cries of the herring gulls overhead. We reflect the colours of Blackpool within our luxury self- catering holiday apartments, using the ‘Left Coast Colour Palette’ within each one’s individual branding and interior. What we really want to do, of course, is get our visitors outdoors, exploring these for themselves and discovering new facets to Blackpool and its surrounding towns and villages. To help you do that whenever you can, whilst (for now) giving you something new to learn about Blackpool, we have put together our little guide to some stunning things, remarkable, unusual and poignant, which you can see, when you step outside our door. If you want to walk with added purpose, get carried away with your camera whilst trying to take artistic shots, or cycle and take in sea air, this guide will provide something for you to look out for, ponder, debate and discuss with the dog, perhaps, if he or she is also staying with us! We hope it will bring you some added pleasure, at a time when the outdoors and open spaces will have to continue to be our sanctuary.
