FOR SALE: BLACKPOOL'S NORTH PIER
North Pier, The Promenade, Blackpool
1 sq ft
Description
The renowned North Pier is prominently set in the heart of Blackpool’s central tourist attractions, directly on the seafront and a stone’s throw from the
iconic Blackpool Tower.
It retains its Victorian grandeur and traditional characterised construction with a wooden deck above a sub structure of cast iron girders, cross members and screw piles, providing a significant footprint of circa 13,500 m2. The pier's promenade deck is lined with wooden benches with ornamental cast iron backs. At intervals along the pier are hexagonal kiosks built around 1900 in wood and glass with minaret roofs topped with decorative finials.
The prominent buildings to the foreshore and pier head including the main entrance, arcade, theatre and bar (built in 1903, 1939 and 1960’s respectively) help to draw footfall off the Golden Mile, whilst a mix of traditional kiosks, along its length provide various retailing opportunities.
