| 词条 | Golden Mile (Blackpool) |
| 释义 | {{Unreferenced stub|date=December 2009}}{{Coord|53.815|-3.055|display=title|region:GB_scale:10000}} The Golden Mile is the name given to the stretch of Promenade between the North and South piers in Blackpool, England. It emerged in the late 19th century, when small-time amusement ride operators, fortune-tellers, phrenologists and oyster bars set up in the front gardens of boarding houses, to take advantage of passing trade near the now-demolished Blackpool Central railway station. It received its nickname later, partly due to the very high concentration of slot machines which would dominate the area. The promenade is actually {{convert|1.6|mi|km|abbr=off}} in length. Today, it is home to the Coral Island and Funland amusement arcades, and, until November 2009, hosted the official Doctor Who exhibition. {{Lancashire-geo-stub}} 1 : Tourist attractions in Blackpool |
