Unlike Blackpool's other piers, which attracted the working classes with open air dancing and amusements, North Pier catered to the "better-class" market, with orchestra concerts and respectable comedians and until 2011, it was the only Blackpool pier that consistently charged admission.
Blackpool Pier (North Pier) was opened in a grand ceremony on 21st May 1863 which included a procession and cannon salute, attended by over 20,000 visitors.
In 1897, Nelson's former flagship, HMS Foudroyant, was moored alongside North Pier for an exhibition but slipped anchor and was wrecked on the shore in a violent storm. North Pier is a Grade II Listed building and was recognised as "Pier of the Year" in 2004 by the National Piers Society.
North Pier is Sooty's home. Harry Corbett bought the original glove puppet on the pier for his son, Matthew. When he first appeared on BBC with Sooty, Harry marked the nose and ears with soot so that they would show up better on black and white television ... and Sooty was born.
You are looking for a small brown magnetic nano; tweezers, pen and tons of patience needed as this can be the busiest seat in town ... MOVED ... too busy next door; kept going missing; and a bit dirty .... new home should be less troublesome
