4. More about Blackpool

For centuries Blackpool was a hamlet by the sea. Then during the 18th century it became fashionable for the well to do to travel to the seaside during the Summer. (In those days people believed that bathing in sea water could cure diseases). Visitors came to Blackpool from the middle of the 18th century. However Blackpool remained a very small place until 1781. In that year two men, Thomas Clifton and Sir Henry Hoghton built a private road to Blackpool. That made it much easier to reach.

The same year stagecoaches began running to Blackpool from Manchester. In 1782 they began running from Halifax.

Nevertheless Blackpool grew only slowly in the early 19th century. A man named Henry Banks developed Blackpool in the early years of the century. He erected new buildings. His work was carried on by his son-in-law, a man named John Cocker. However in 1801 Blackpool had a population of less than 500. By 1851 it had risen to over 2,500. Meanwhile St John's Church in Blackpool was consecrated in 1821.
