The seaside town of Blackpool has a long history of innovation and product development. One of the most famous examples is the Blackpool Tower, which was built in 1894 and was the tallest structure in the world at the time. Other notable inventions include the first electric tramway and the world's first automatic pin-making machine. In recent years, Blackpool has continued to innovate, with the development of a new personal rapid transit system and a multimillion-pound investment in digital infrastructure. This commitment to innovation means that Blackpool is well placed to continue its tradition of developing new products and services that meet the needs of 21st-century consumers.
