At the heart of the photograph stands the Blackpool Tower, an architectural marvel that was built between 1891 and 1894 by Maxwell and Tuke.

In the background, the Big Wheel adds to the vibrant atmosphere of the scene. This early amusement ride, which first opened in 1896, was one of the first of its kind in the UK and became a beloved icon of Blackpool's Golden Mile.
