Blackpool and the places nearby.
Blackpool is the classic northern seaside resort, built on the Tower, the piers, the Pleasure Beach and the Illuminations, and its economy still rises and falls with the visitor season. Behind the promenade sit streets of former guest houses and tight Victorian terraces, many now converted to flats, which keeps roofers, damp specialists and electricians busy. Hospitality businesses need to be found by visitors searching on the day, while trades do better naming the quieter residential districts like Bispham and Marton, where homeowners rather than landlords make the calls.
Across the boundary into the next council area, Lytham St Anne's (5 miles), Fleetwood (6 miles) and Kirkham (8 miles) are also close. A longer drive takes in Southport (12 miles), Garstang (13 miles), Penwortham (14 miles) and Preston (15 miles). If you cover some of these and not others, the site should name the ones you do.
Inside Blackpool, the site can name areas such as Bispham, South Shore, Marton, Layton, Anchorsholme, Poulton-le-Fylde and Cleveleys.
Blackpool addresses fall in the FY postcode area, about 215 miles north of Exeter, where we are based.
