Under new management!

I had an errand to run today in Blackpool, forgetting the tower was being completely refurbished, I took my camera hoping for a decent snap, parked the car and saw THIS!! Isn't it always the case? Same when I once went to York, to find the Minster shrouded in scaffolding...Sod's law and 'tog's seem to go hand in hand...so rather than come home without a pic...here's the result...some overdraft there I bet at today's labour charges<g> A rather grotty day, hence the bland sky:(

Potted History: A tourist attraction in Blackpool, Lancashire in England which was opened to the public on 14 May 1894. Inspired by the Eiffel Tower in Paris, it rises to 158m (518 ft 9 inches). The Tower is a member of the World Federation of Great Towers. The tower can be seen from most places within a 30-mile (48 km) radius including Barrow-in-Furness, Lancaster, Liverpool, Manchester, Preston, Chorley and Southport. It is a Grade 1 listed building.Five million bricks, 2,500 tonnes of iron and 93 tonnes of cast steel were used to construct the tower. The cast steel and iron are distributed in such a way that if it did ever collapse it would fall into the sea.
