    Good Evening Steve. Incredible Narration as ever. Very Interesting about the area of places being changed. I did like the establishment with the Beatles Memrobilia. What has happened to our Good old fashioned Cinemas that you used to go with your Family and Friends. It is very sad, that our Nostalgia is dissapearing from our streets. It was a very Good way of Socialising and being with people. The Excitement of waiting to see the next new Movie. All the Best to you Steve. Jonathan. ☺👍👍

    The houses on the right, just after the bridge on Rigby Road, that was a coach park latterly, Seasiders Coach Park iirc.

    Myself and a friend visiting Blackpool a week today and we're staying till Sunday. We are coming from Stockport in Manchester. We had tramtown tour booked but sadly been cancelled. However we have lots booked. We are booked on both the ghost walk and the ghost tram. Hole In Wand crazy golf booked. illuminated tram ride booked. Also there for the last fireworks championships for this year. Maybe booking a heritage tram ride. Think we may try the victorian crazy golf.

    We've had electric buses in Glasgow for a while now and all they did was break down in the really warm weather we had, maybe not as good as made out. Well done Stephen for another good video. Keep safe.

    • @X-GamerPro-HD
      @X-GamerPro-HD ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Maybe they brake down because how much use they have 24/7 all day. Must be hard.
      My opinion is never to get an electric public transport vehicle or even electric vehicles for everyday use for company’s because it will be a nightmare.
      I know because one of my family works at a company what uses electric vans and they brake down all the time.

    We usually went to the pictures when on holiday in Blackpool. I remember seeing The Empire Strikes Back (I think at the ABC) and For Your Eyes Only at the original “Funny Girls” Odeon.

    12:30 - I think that's where the Gas Club was.
    There's another similar Blackpool Transport building just at the end of Waterloo Rd, before the prom. It was offices but now quite tasteful Art Deco flats.
    Getting Pontin's customers on Saturdays from the site to the Coliseum was fraught for us cabbies. You couldn't use the prom as it was always jammed with traffic. So it was up Bond St then a mad start-stop-start up Bolton St which took you to the Colly, but we got there!
    So many memories - thanks Stephen.

    • @craiglatham

    • @craiglatham
      @craiglatham ปีที่แล้ว

      I also remember the Railway club at the South end of Blackpool. The LMS Club. My Grandad had another name for it, Ell of a mess club.But he was happy to play the piano when they asked him to. A couple of jars and away he went.

    Hello again Stephen. another part of Blackpool that I’ve not seen before. A lot of new houses. I remember the windmill that was there a long time ago. I’ve seen Cliff and the shadows in the 1960’s in Blackpool but I don’t remember where it was . Another interesting walk on the wild side. Thank you very much Stephen. 👍🥰❤️❤️❤️
