History
During the latter half of the 20th century, the Third Doctor magnetised the tower to stop a swarm of metal-eating insects. Another account implied that these events happened to the Fourth Doctor. (COMIC: The Metal-Eaters)

The Sixth Doctor and Peri Brown visited Blackpool Tower in 1986 to look at the views over Blackpool and beyond. The Doctor praised the architecture. Peri, on the other hand, called it a "rusty old tower". (AUDIO: The Nightmare Fair)

As a child, Clara Oswald's nan took her to the Blackpool Tower circus. (PROSE: All the Empty Towers)

The Timey-Wimey Detector was made up of items including a Blackpool postcard, prominently featuring Blackpool Tower. (TV: Blink)

By 2089, the tower was slightly tilted. It had oxidised and great vines twisted their way theorugh the holes in its structure. The Twelfth Doctor and Clara Oswald noticed four small pods hovering and drawing power from the tower. The Doctor and Clara climbed the lift shaft to the viewing platform, where they found the controls and shut down both the pods and a robotic landlady by whom they had previously been terrorised.
