Night view illuminated 'Big Wheel' standing on Central Pier, from beach to north, Blackpool Illuminations, UK

---

Night view from the beach north 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 beach north of the pier's entrance.
