A silhouetted shot of Blackpool central Pier as seen from the Promenade sea wall/steps opposite Blackpool tower..It is one of three pleasure piers in the seaside resort of Blackpool, Lancashire, England.
The pier is central in the sense that it is located between the other two, but it is also close to the site of the now-defunct Blackpool Central railway station about 500 metres south of Blackpool Tower. Since the coastline is very straight and flat, the pier simply extends at right angles to the sea front, roughly level with the promenade.
