Anita heads to Lancashire, revisiting the glorious beaches of her childhood. Anita explores the birth of the seaside resort in Blackpool, and the extraordinary story of risk and ambition behind a monument that was once the tallest man-made structure in Britain: The Blackpool Tower. At the Pleasure Beach, Anita takes a spin on the oldest operating ride in Europe, the flying machine. Further down the coast, she learns how the worst RNLI lifeboat disaster inspired the world's first street charity collection, samples a Knickerbocker Glory and discovers the extraordinary story of the Cotton Queens and their beauty pageants that transformed the lives of mill workers, cementing Blackpool's reputation as the Las Vegas of the North.
