Night view, from promenade south of pier's entrance, illuminated 'Big Wheel' rising from electric lights Central Pier, Blackpool

---

Night view from the promenade south of the Central Pier. The Central Pier dates to 1864, the year after the more genteel North Pier. In 1990 the pier was strengthened, at a cost of £75,000, to take the weight of the 32m (108ft) tall 'Big Wheel', seen here from the promenade south of the pier's entrance.
