Blackpool Gigantic Wheel Co. Ltd., £1 shares, 18[96], no.313, decorative title, black, red embossed seal at bottom, good very fine.

The 220ft wheel was built in 1896 in the Blackpool Winter Gardens, to rival the huge Blackpool Tower. Sadly it was short lived, not becoming as successful as the Tower, and was demolished in 1929 by the Tower Company who had taken over the Winter Gardens Company the year prior.
