Genuinely interested It was the building that New Brighton Tower (think a slightly smaller Blackpool Tower) was built from. I can't place a picture on here, but it's on this ... https://images.app.goo.gl/3h2HRvCdeeop7zTu9 The Tower was demolished in 1920. The building, hotel & ballroom, in 1969.

DazBob 1,060 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Never even heard of that tower before. Seems madness that it was built and then dismantled only 20 or so years later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
