Gateway arch, Bispham, near Blackpool
Gateway arch, Bispham, near Blackpool
An illuminated arch stands at either end of Blackpool's promenade, above the roadway. The arch marks the starting point of Blackpool's Illuminations. This image looks northwards away from the Illuminations. The Illuminations are seasonal, being staged annually during the autumn months, but the arch (and its sister arch at Starr Gate, six miles to the south) are in situ all year round.

The road along the promenade forms part of the route of the A584.
Blackpool Illuminations

Blackpool Illuminations are an annual display of lights during the autumn months. The display stretches for six miles along Blackpool's seafront, from Starr Gate in the south to Bispham in the north.

The A584 (Preston to Blackpool Road)

The A584 runs for a total distance of approximately 19 miles Clifton, near Preston, to Little Bispham, in the north of Blackpool. The road largely follows the Fylde coastline to Blackpool and, for its final 7 miles, forms Blackpool's promenade.
