10th April 2008. Taken from the Central Pier, Blackpool. The Tower marks the much famed 'Golden Mile'. Not sure to what it refers as the beach has long been home to the sewage outflow pipe from the town and is anything but golden.
The shops and arcades along the sea front have also lost much of their glister and several have closed and been boarded up.
Not so much a 'Golden Mile' but more a 'Slightly Rusty 300 Yards'.
Still, it's not a bad afternoon out every five or so years (provided you can avoid the drunken groups of Glaswegians, Stag, Hen parties and also sidestep the numerous pavement pizzas which lurk around the entrances to the lap dancing bars).
