section::::history of the pleasure beach.:early years (1896–1930).





























pleasure beach was founded in 1896 by alderman william george bean after he failed in his attempt to become an advertising man on new york's madison avenue. he returned to the united kingdom in 1897 and opened two separate amusement parks; one adjacent to euston road in great yarmouth and another in blackpool, opposite the tram terminus. the great yarmouth amusement park failed to generate much interest and so bean moved to blackpool full-time towards the end of the century.
