You're standing at Blackpool Tower, the iron landmark of this seaside town. Look up. Does it remind you of something? It should: the tower was inspired by the Eiffel Tower in Paris. It's 158 metres tall, and when it opened on 14 May 1894 it was the tallest man-made structure in the entire British Empire.
