You can still glimpse into Blackpool Stanley Park past history when you walk around the park today. It was opened on 2 October 1926 by the 17th Earl of Derby, Sir George Edward Villiers Stanley.
And Blackpool Stanley Park is still as popular today as it was then. It's been a Grade II listed park since 1995 - preserving the past and the history it holds for future generations.

The dozens of times I have been to Blackpool I have never ever visited Stanley Park but the next time I go I will
Stanley Park looked so nice and sunny. A proper spring day.🌞🌻🌳
Thanks for this delightful video, Jane. I have some fond memories of Stanley park as a little girl visiting with my parents and grandparents. I can recall being delighted by the sight of the two original Stowe ( lead ) lions ....copies of the Medici sculptures. I'm so glad that the Stowe lions were so loved and have been restored ( even the rusted pins were replaced with steel ones) and sent back to their original Stowe plinths in Nottinghamshire, ( Stowe House ) where they are no longer vulnerable from theft, or of being melted down for scrap metal... which was suspected to be the case with the Shepherd and shepherdess...which were stolen from Stanley park. ( 2011 ) . I've yet to see the two cast replicas of the Stowe lions in Stanley park.
I think you'd have to be an expert to know that they weren't original - they're very good copies.
@@visitfyldecoast I have a friend, whose husband acquired two huge ( over a metre tall ) sitting ( cast replica ) lions, which look amazing beside their front door. Unfortunately, I lost this friend to a tragedy. I hope his widow will always embrace these two lions; as these will always remind me of him and his bohemian personality, along with his collection of eight grandfather clocks!
Love Stanley Park.
GOOD MORNING JAN . A BEAUTIFUL PARK TO GO ROUND FOR A WALK . WENT YESTERDAY AND SAW THEHERONS NESTING
It sounds like the herons have also been feasting on ducklings too!
Nice video.l would like to live near the park.springtime is coming
I know where it is but I have never been there, so I must pay it a visit the next time I am in Blackpool, thank you for the info...
Any time! You'll love it.
What a splendid, informative film this is, Thank you so much VFC!
When I moved up to the north west of England it seemed to me that wherever I went I encountered connections with the names Derby, Stanley, Hesketh and others like Blundell and so forth. I have wondered for over 40 years whether Stanley who encountered Livingstone was a scion of the Stanleys hereabouts. I will find out one day - I have many other questions to sift through first.
This wonderful park was opened not all that long before I was born and not long before all women got the vote, it really doesn't seem long ago since that picture was taken to me. I have enjoyed sitting in the Italian Garden with a good book and an ice cream after a refreshment in that lovely art deco building, so well decorated within.
One day I shall be in the park when the visitor centre is open, it has not happened yet!
I do like the statue of Dione the water bearer, I never understood at school that she was the 'feminine representation' of the god Zeus as well as his wife, especially as Dione was the mother of Aphrodite . . but the Titans are another mystery to solve!
Looking forward to Brew @ 2 this afternoon! 🎬☕🍰🦇😎
It was named after Frederick Stanley the MP of the 19th century for Blackpool
@@jackwatsonepic626 Indeed Jack, it could well have been named Clifton Park after the early initiators of Blackpool as a resort but they were relatively minor in society terms. I wish I could have seen the re-enactment of the opening of the park.
Hi Eryk, I think that Zeus and Dione share similar ' name' meanings if you do a search into their name meanings. ( Dione is Diana... the Latin feminine form of Zeus.....Latin, deus, god ) They were both regarded as being Gods and I suppose, that's why Dione could be regarded as a representation of Zeus.....not factually certain.
@@astonishedcelt2353 Thank you very much indeed for this Jane, my old brain has been straining to remember over many decades to when I learned Greek mythology at school, I need to return to it at some time. When older of course I was able to connect the statuary at the British Museum with what we had been taught. It fascinated me to see the bust of Julius Caesar several years after the scholastic study of the Shakespeare play. Later still in Rome and Florence there were all the statues I could want for - but the memories were even then diminishing. I struggle now to remember what day it is but self isolation has been a thirteen month blur! My pocket telephone alarm alerts me to Brew at Two and the other groups to which I belong.
As an aside I have always wondered why I avoid abstract paintings but with the statuary of H Moore and B Hepworth I can have a reciprocity . . . much more at home with Rodin though!
One of the things I have missed the most in this restricted time is the libraries and museums. I am not a socialising person but the new understandings that can be gained in galleries is a terrible loss. I hope I have time enough left to revisit the wonderful collections we are so lucky to have. I feel like a museum piece myself :-)
Goodness, you're a well educated bunch!
Good morning ☀️☀️☀️ Such a massive park it’s the biggest one that I have been in tbh our parks are only small see you at Bats at 2 😂😂
It's not small! See you later x
@@visitfyldecoast our Parks are very small you could put our parks in the middle of Stanley park and Stanley park would bury ours 😂
Did you no that the golf course is getting cut down from 18 holes to 9 holes to make way for housing xxxxxx
I did. Not sure of the details but I think there's a leisure complex involved too.
