I am not sure who built it, but I do know that there is a lot of info about the building of the tower ect.. in the area where the lifts are, next time I go there if this info is still missing I will take my camera along and photograph all the info posters. It should be noted however that I have lived in Blackpool for 8 years and have only visited the tower twice, so unless I take my nephews there at some point, another source would likely be better and quicker.

On an unrelated point, I feel that the towers circus should be mentioned, as their posters are everywhere in Blackpools town center proclaiming it to be "World Famous" Golden Dragoon 23:22, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

The Architects of the Tower and Buildings were "Maxwell & Tuke" of Manchester, (they both died in 1893 before the tower was completed), the contracts to build the tower were given to "Heenan & Froude" of Newton Heath, Manchester. Hope that helps answer some questions. Posted by a passing Blackpool fanatic —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.12.234.69 (talk) 12:58, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Circus Arena section

The Circus Arena section reads like an advertisement... 86.147.158.128 (talk) 10:41, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

The whole section didn't read like an advert, just one sentence which I have removed as it was clearly written like an advert. The rest of it is fine.♦Tangerines♦·Talk 15:34, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
