Alhambra, Blackpool
The Alhambra was an entertainment complex in Blackpool, Lancashire, England, from 1899–1903. A financial disaster, the building was bought by the Blackpool Tower Company and reopened in 1904 as the Palace. The building was demolished in 1961 to make way for Lewis's department store.
==Construction==
The land on which the Alhambra was built was originally the site of the Prince of Wales Theatre and Baths, which had opened in 1877.〔 The Alhambra (Blackpool) Limited company was formed, with support from local publican and former acrobat Henry Brooks.〔 £220,000 was authorised for the build and shares in the company were offered to the general public in 1897. They sold out immediately; 3/5 of the shareholders came from Lancashire, and 1/8 from Blackpool.〔〔 Against competition from Frank Matcham and C. J. Phipps, architects Wylson & Long of London won the design contract.〔 The foundation stone was laid on 18 December 1897 and the building work, undertaken by Whitehead & Son of Blackpool, took two years to complete.〔〔
