Another great video stephen. Love your calender, great photos on it, look forward to having it up on the wall, which is blessed with your 2024 calender at the moment., which also has great photos on it😊😊
I worked at Yates, in the summer of 1990 and yes the description is correct, 8 on the bar and 400 thirsty customers all fighting to get a drink, it was so much fun 🍻🍻
You have such a positive outlook Stephen, you do make me smile. Thankyou for reminding me that The Albert and the Lion used to be Woolworths. Remember going in there when we kids, but couldn’t wait to get back to the amusements etc. I had a lovely breakfast in Albert and Lion when I went to Blackpool in the summer. I went early, but then it got packed. Thanks for your brilliant channel 👍
Beneath the Harrowside Bridge at 3:31 is now a gym, a Blackpool Council storage area, and a separate car park / storage for local residents. I understand that at one time, the council's deckchairs were stored there out of season, and during the war, there was a hidden factory churning out parts for Hurricanes etc.
Happy memories of a stag-do in Blackpool in a packed Yates's about 30 years ago, great atmosphere but we decided to relocate to the counting house where it was easier to get served but was also packed - ended up in the disco in what was the Hilton hotel which is now the Grand hotel - happy days & great memories - I wonder if you were in Yates's Steve on that Saturday night all those years ago ? Keep up the great work mate from Dave in the Staffordshire Moorlands.
Good Evening Stephen. I have Ordered a Calender from your Website the other day. I look forward to recieving your Wonderful new Calender. Rather pricey thou at £ 17.50. Least it is for a Good cause. I liked your Drive in the Rain on a Monday in Blackpool Stephen. A Good amount of Rain does cool down and Freshen up the Atmosphere i feel.
Thank you for another interesting video Steve, the Glitterball is lit up again this year. Worth stopping of to see at night. The rain wasn't too bad on Monday in Blackpool considering there was flooding in Liverpool and Manchester due to very heavy rain on Monday. Xxx
Hi Steve, bought your calendar in Happy Dayz on way to the fireworks on Saturday night. 12 excellent fotos in there. My favourite foto is the drone foto of the Tower and North Pier with Black Combe and some of the Lake District mountains in the background. You picked the perfect day to take that foto. I love it when I can see the Lake District mountains. I also love the starlings over North Pier. Feeling dizzy under the Glitterball is a fantastic part of the Illuminations, another lovely foto, also the snow and the two fotos of unusual clouds. Great calendar, thank you Steve xxx
Hi Stephen its Monday evening here in Nottingham and we've had nothing but wind and rain 🌧 for the last 2 days another great video 📹 and just like you the rain didn't stop me from going out in it shopping from Michelle in Nottingham 😊😅😂
Late again, seems to be my norm at the mo. Excellent video and the calendar is fabulous great photography Stephen and with £2.50 going to Brian House it's a win win situation. 😊😊😊
Enjoyed your video Stephen I arrived to a very wet Blackpool we went for a walk on the beach and the Comedy carpet in the rain we were the only ones there ❤
Getting bar service - that one of the best things about the apps that some pubs have these (Wetherspoons, Greene King, Stonegate etc). Having these means that you don't have to go to the bar and if you are in there on your own, you don't risk the possibility of losing your table.
A very wet drive around Blackpool Stephen. Goodness they soon knocked down that old Hartes building on Bond Street. Will put my order in for a 2025 calendar in the next couple of days. Always enjoy these drive about videos.👌
Hi Stephen. thanks for a nice drive around Blackpool. I remember the windmill it looked nice when we drove into Blackpool, I still don't know why they took it away. I hope that I will be able to get a calendar but I won't be coming to England until the 2nd November. unless my brother has time to have a trip to Blackpool before I come. take care and ill see you in the next one and maybe meet you with the Blackpool Lads and DailyVlogAdventure.

Hi Steve watched your video walking up to Ulverston Tower on this miserable morning I also missed the turn of like you, could see Blackpool Tower today
The NHS Business Services Authority are moving into the 1st floor of the council offices (Bickerstaffe House) in June 2025. They are currently located in Fleetwood
Hi Stephen thanks for a great drive around Blackpool even though it was Raining 🌧 Love your Calendar would like to get one maybe in a fortnight when i get paid again i will let you know as it would have to come to Canada.
Hi Stephen are you driving round in your van, it sounds a bit squeaky! Enjoying your commentary as always, easy listening... It's sunny but cooler here in Bognor Regis, forecast is looking good for the week ahead... Until the next one
You need to elaborate on the trams comment mate. You made it sound like there were no trams at all after 7, as apposed to just up to the station. Keep up the good work 🎥
Hi Jo, go to the top of this page, and click where it says "more". This will take you directly to where you can order a calendar. I hope this helps.Take care 😊
Hi Stephen thank you for another great video as always what a fantastic calendar great photos as always a great drive around weather not great though the same here have a great day xx
Have you ever thought about writing a book on Blackpool? Not one with loads of reading but a book of your photos with a short history on each photo etc, you would sell loads I'm sure
Mr Blackpool himself, Hi Stephen. Is the GPO on Abingdon St a graded listed building please ? I posted one to Spain last wk (calender) was just over a tenner. Post is ruthless since Brexit !! Got calenders for everyone, forgot to get one for me 😮 !!
Can you give a shout out to the cafe continental on topping street in town it's one of the best cafes in Blackpool town the owners have also said you are welcome anytime and you can do a video there to if you want to anytime as well yeah
@49 seconds ... why would you hope that you dont sell out? surley as a vendor thats exactly what you want to do ... im pretty sure you dont want them left on your hands
As Im sure you are aware Stephen doesn't deliver the calendars personally. If you wish to purchase a calendar, you can order one from the website, or alternatively buy one from Happy Dayz or Higgitts Burger Bar!
It was Chris Higgitt's idea for viewers to send letters and gifts to Leroy. Viewers then asked if they could send gifts for other TH-camrs and he said yes, the rest is history!
Well, I made quite a name for myself as a photographer, helped quite a bit by winning the Royal Meteorological Society’s Weather Photographer of the Year in 2018 & going on to judge further competitions.

@@DarrenGregg-j3e I don't see why should I have to explain everything? I've been self employed now for 25 years & eventually ended up with a TH-cam channel, of which I make a reasonable living from. I don't see what is so bad about that, and why I shouldn't be able to command a certain price for my photography works.
Lovely photos in calendar, stunning shot of starlings flying, thats my favourite ! Well done Steven, great video too!
Just ordered my calendar, the pictures look fantastic as most of your photos do. Cheers!
Thanks very much!

Does anyone remember the old fashioned music hall above the Yates at Talbot Road? It was a good night out -like stepping back into the Good Old Days!

8:30 I'd say. Thanks for the calendar order.
