The first place in Blackpool dedicated solely to amusement was Uncle Tom's Cabin, perched on the crumbling cliffs to the north of the town. Commercialised in about 1860, the original building was lost to the sea in 1907. A pub of the same name exists today near to the original site. Back to Blackpool history
