Blackpool Pleasure Beach

The iconic Flying Machines, Pleasure Beach, Blackpool on the Fylde Coast of Lancashire.
Opened in 1904, less than a year after the first flight of the Wright Brothers, this ride deigned by Sir Hiram Maxim is still powered only by gears and heavy machinery. The Flying Machines gave ordinary Edwardians their only chance to experience the thrill of flight.
NB: Photo taken inside the Pleasure Beach. Admission charge.
