Night beach portrait, with reflections, north to blue Blackpool Tower and Central Pier Big Wheel, Blackpool Illuminations, 2013
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', here illuminated. Blackpool Tower, opened in 1894, has computer-controlled changing lights, here illuminated blue. The tower in 2013, 2014 and 2015 was undergoing repairs. Beach view, with reflections, looking north towards the Tower and Central Pier.
