Covering: Blackpool, Lytham St Annes, Fleetwood, Cleveleys, Poulton-le-Fylde, Thornton and the rest of the FY postcode area.
The local landmark: Blackpool Tower has watched over the promenade since 1894, with the Pleasure Beach at the far end of the Golden Mile.
Students: Blackpool and The Fylde College awards degrees through its university centre in the town, though most students live locally rather than in halls.
On the ground: Tight Victorian terraces and former guest houses converted into flats sit just behind the promenade, with seasonal parking restrictions near the front. If carrying is the hard part, Assisted from £349 brings us inside, with a two-person crew when furniture or bikes are aboard (£15 per end for 2nd or 3rd floor with no lift, £30 for 4th and up).
Who makes this move: Most traffic runs out of London, with retirees and families swapping the capital for some of the most affordable seaside housing in England.
While you wait for the van: The Blackpool Illuminations began in 1879 with eight arc lamps described at the time as artificial sunshine, and now stretch for six miles.
