the vikings

Not Vikings. Blackpool is coastal, it lies on a flat plain. on the north west coast of England, it sits twix two rivers: The Ribble and the other The Wyre. Blackpool faces the eastern Irish Sea.

The early areas of Blackpool were marshy interland and sand dune coast line, the MASH water drained out into the Irish Sea, the exit place was in the in the vicinity of what is now called Manchester square. The area just prior to discharged to the sea was pooled, the colour of the water, was dark-black....ya get the drift!

The early people did incorporate Viking blood, there are still traces, you can see the linage every Friday night in the pub....rather shouty, obnoxious and drunk. Alas no Kirk Douglas.

Blackpool was named in relative early times, well after Doomsday, probably around mid 18th century. Blackpule. A local village just north Bispham is mention in the book as well as Lytham St Annes....which has a Golf Masters Open course. Tiger Woods failed miserably at this venue.
