Greggs, Nail bars, Turkish Barbers and of course Betting shops - The British High-street down to a tee! What a 3rd world shit hole we are turning into! (my opinion, other opinions may vary)
Blackpool in the 60's was just wonderful, what a shame to see it like this. I think that many seaside resorts are suffering the same fate. Thanks for the upload 😊
Blackpool council have made it harder to trade, I remember in the 90s there was tv advertising promoting Blackpool and what it had to offer, that does not happen anymore. Me and my friends were shocked at how much the sandcastle were charging for entry, lots of attractions were very expensive, this means people will just come for the day and not stay, Blackpool council make parking expensive and they can waste money on things like the tram extension the cost for going on the tram is now £3.50 Blackpool council could for a start allow free parking on the street until 10am instead of 8am for a start.
Its an accumulation od Covid, Out of Town shopping, internet shopping, business rates, cheap foreign holidays and the british weather why Blackpool has failed, along with most high streets.
Great video mate .Seen a few around Blackpool but yours is one of the best. A real eye opener to see , i haven't been to Blackpool in ten years now . A real sorry decline.
I'm watching this from Brazil! So many memories from my childhood too! Thank you for this bit of nostalgia. Liked, and subscribed, and I loved your KFC stealth camp. Keep them coming!
Was there last weekend terry. 2 night stay at Savoy with caledonian travel. Was told it was worst hotel in Blackpool. Nowt wrong with it. Was cheap and basic but meals were lovely and tram right outside. Enjoyed market on the evening.
Yates is a tragedy. It is a fine Art Deco building and an important piece of Blackpool's architectural heritage. It needs to be "Listed' as a building of architectural merit. It was formerly the Red Lion when I first knew it in 1984, later becoming Leo's. Hartes is the old Woolworths store. It was very popular with local people. Apparently they sold Christmas decorations all year. Bond Street is finished. Sadly Blackpook has become an embarassment. I lived there for 7 years an left 25 years ago. I would not go back. The town is finished. Very sad.
Thanx mate for the guided tour loved blackpool as a kid then took my kids when they were younger they loved it now that they older now theyve been a couple of times on there own and point blanc refuse to go back they said it was so sad to see it declining like that such a shame
Thanks for the video! I remember going to Blackpool as a kid in the 70s and 80s and it was always jam-packed. Now it looks pretty rough. I even heard a rumour that Blackpool was housing loads of refugees. Such a shame!
@@Hotondave68 Yes, Brittania Metropole, the only hotel on the promenade is housing immigrants for £35 a day each via governmental funds. A new temporary entrance/exit is housed around the back. Got to appease the Daily Mail and Express-reading scuzz. These people need refuge, it doesn't bother me. What bothers me is the DISGUSTING state of disrepair caused by Brittania. I worked there when it was Butlins, such a crying shame to see what Brittania have done. Just cash whores. 21st century capitalist vultures milking the immigrant pound for all it's worth. Scum.
Blackpool is "red wall" and went Tory last time under major league filther, Boris scumbag Johnson. Ergo, we got nearly every grant going. The town is undergoing huge projects and is in a league of its own seaside-wise. Only good days ahead. Ignore the rough bits, the new multi-million projects are everywhere. Why? Domestic tourism is back to skyrocketing thanks to the idiots that voted for Brexit, plus as a reward for installing a Tory MP in both Blackpool seats; North and South, we got nearly all money requested. Labour seat request for funds? Nah. Oh you're Tory now? Take all this cash. The only silver lining of dealing with this wicked corrupt entitled government, Blackpool has done incredibly out of it. Blackpool Tourist Board are also great at submitting bids. Google Blackpool projects, it's just awash with building work.
Used to go every year till covid struck Stayed at the North pier end can't believe places that have shut down in the last 4 years Reminds me what happened to RHYL in North Wales It was rated when I was a kid then fun fayre shut and when I went back 20 years ago it was like a ghost town Unrecognisable hope Blackpool not going the same way
In my opinion, nearly all British seaside towns are going the same way. When I was a nipper we used to go to Margate in Kent and, like Blackpool, it was busy and thriving. Now it's an eye sore and a place to avoid!
I used to go there as a kid in the 1980s during the six weeks holiday and it used to be great... Shame how a once great town has fallen to rack and ruin, Bloomfield Road Stadium which has been the home to League One Blackpool FC since 1899 is just behind you at 09:20 in this video.
Worked there for five years this was the same then go back in the height of the summer season youll find the same thing Blackpool is finished better to bulldoze the dump
@@rickytonks4906 ,I go 4 times a year and my daughter lives in Lytham and this year has been awful , like a ghost town midweek ,even this week with Scottish holidays on ,it's barely busy . The pleasure beach charging £50 on the day and £36 online ,when loads of the rides are not working . I love Blackpool ,but it's dying and is getting more grubby and derelict .
Hi there! I work at the sub and we are open! We are open Wednesday to Sunday from 5pm! If you’d like to come and visit us I’m happy to give you a message! The inside is so much better ❤

Yes mate online shopping is ruining the night street big time as well cheers Brian
Don't forget the money lenders, betting shops and vape shops too. Only charity shops left too. I think they get cheap rent.

I was told that last week by a shopkeeper. They have housed them all in one hotel
