North Pier, Grade II listed pier in Blackpool, England.
The North Pier extends 1000 feet into the Irish Sea with wooden decking, cast iron supports, and Victorian architectural elements throughout its structure.
The construction of North Pier began in 1862 and opened in 1863 with a ceremony that attracted over 20,000 visitors to the Blackpool seafront.
The pier established its reputation by offering orchestra concerts and selected entertainment, distinguishing itself from other piers that focused on general amusements.
The pier complex includes an arcade, performance theater, multiple bars, cafes, and provides direct access to panoramic views of the Lancashire coastline.
The North Pier displays one of the earliest Sooty glove puppets, marking the location where Harry Corbett purchased the original puppet for his television show.
