What Happened To Blackpool's Victorian Great Wheel?

Exploring the History of Winter Gardens in Blackpool, uncovering all of it's history and Hidden Secrets.

In this video we look at the Great Wheel, located at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool. It opened in 1896 and closed in 1928 after 32 years. At over 220ft high, it towered over Blackpool along with the Tower. We also take a look at the earliest form of a Steel Rollercoaster located at the Winter Gardens and known as Les Montagnes Russes, it opened in 1902.
