The Comedy Carpet is a public artwork on Blackpool Promenade in front of Blackpool Tower, designed by Gordon Young with typography by Why Not Associates and opened by Ken Dodd in 2011. Set into the Tower Festival Headland, its concrete and granite surface carries more than 160,000 letters spelling jokes, catchphrases and the names of comedians.
North Pier is the oldest and longest of Blackpool's three piers, designed by Eugenius Birch and opened in 1863. The Grade II listed pier runs about 500 metres out to sea from the end of Talbot Road and carries a theatre, bars, a carousel and an amusement arcade.
Central Pier is the middle of Blackpool's three piers, opened in 1868 about 500 metres south of Blackpool Tower to designs by John Isaac Mawson. It has always been the pier for dancing and amusements; a 33-metre Ferris wheel added in 1990 stands halfway along, beside fairground rides and an arcade.
