Blackpool can hardly be called one of the busiest or most interesting airports in the UK, although it does have quite a sizeable flying training and GA population, and there should be something to catch your attention during a short stop.
Unfortunately, Blackpool is not very helpful for getting photos of anything that's here - for one thing the layout means that most aircraft will be parked behind hangars or various other obstructions, and the other is that you're generally facing into the sun from almost all the possible locations anyway.
Probably the best photographic opportunities here can be found at the crash gate located at the end of a lane around from the Blackpool Air Centre.

 History of Light Rail
However many tramways have been steadily upgraded over the years to run on segregated alignments and form the basis of a substantial network of electric light railways that are an important part of the well-patronised public transport system.
The origin of the tramway can be traced back to the plateways used in mines and quarries to ease the passage of horse-drawn wagons, but the first street tramway in a city was the New York and Harlem line of 1832, coining the American term still used today, street railway.
A handful of tramway systems survived in North American cities, though many believed that bus replacement was just a matter of time, and in many locations elsewhere around the world tramway modernisation had come to a stop as the economics of mass production disappeared from the tramway supply market.
