The #HODs usually gives visitors an opportunity to find out more about faith and religion. @heritageopenday 1/ #HeritageOpenDays #HODs20 #MyHeritageBlackpool #HeritageBlackpool #MyBlackpool #MyHeritageBPL Blackpool Central Mosque
Instead of the usual tours, we will have to admire Blackpool Central Mosque and its impressive Islamic Architecture from afar this year. 2/ @heritageopenday #HODs #HeritageOpenDays #HODs20 #MyHeritageBlackpool #HeritageBlackpool #MyBlackpool #MyHeritageBPL
Known for its radiant colors, rich patterns, and symmetrical silhouettes, the mosque is a stunning building. 3/ @heritageopenday #HODs #HeritageOpenDays #HODs20 #MyHeritageBlackpool #HeritageBlackpool #MyBlackpool #MyHeritageBPL
