Blackpool Tower ballroom chandeliers undergo annual spring clean
The Edwardian chandeliers at Blackpool Tower Ballroom are having their annual spring clean.
The two main one-tonne chandeliers are winched down by hand before the cleaning process begins.
It will take a few weeks to clean the chandeliers, which are made of hand-cut crystals from Italy and use LED bulbs.
Aaron Edgar, head of operations, said it was always a "nerve-wracking moment" but they had not dropped one yet.
