The Blackpool Tower first opened to the public on 14th May 1894. The original Tower was only going to be 450 foot high. The Blackpool Tower and Tower Buildings had cost approximately £290,000 by 1896. The original tender for the Blackpool Tower itself had been £42,000, but extra steel was needed to make it perfectly safe and this raised the figure to about £65,000. The height to the top of the flagpole is 518 feet 9 inches. The Tower alone contains 2,493 tons of steel and 93 tons of cast iron.
