    Hi Stephen. You gave me a flash back when you mentioned the fire station that was. How incredible i remember that from being a 6-7 year old in 1967-68. Delta 64😊

    I love those signs with the hands! There's one or two similar ones around the town although I live abroad now and I'm starting to forget the street names at home! There's one on the corner of the prom with one street and I can't remember what it's pointing to. Not the old Central Station but not Blackpool North either. Fun wandering around my hometown at a distance with you.

    Awesome vid stephen!! Love the fact that you took us to the places mostly unseen in vids of this nature, i have only been to BP once to see the illuminations, but traffic was so bad and congested that the sis in law said she couldnt cope and we left before seeing it :( So i really want to come back and see BP. And yes the weather was just beautiful on Sunday! :) Even my youngest remarked on the Blue sky as we usually have planes polluting the Blueness of the sky round here. Thx once again Stephen

    The building on Cookson street that's knocked down was I think called Sound City, they used to do musical instruments, amps and speaker units. Seems though that everything knocked down in Blackpool now becomes either a Hotel or a car park.

    Hi Stephen, remember the register office on south King Street from 1990ish,as I used to stay at a friend's opposite, also the kingdom hall as we used to cut thro the back streets to get to hornby Rd then go over to the Stanley Rd working mens club, think some of those back streets are gated now?? & I remember the ABC on church street, I lived there 45yrs ago... Will be over in 4 or five weeks staying in fy4 at relatives.

    Thank you Steve for showing me a very interesting part of Blackpool I will probably never get to see for myself, as I have no reason to go there and isn't on a bus route.
    There are lots of little plots of land dotted around Blackpool. Temporary car parks are a good use for them until they decide a better use.
    As for the Recent Cinema, apparently there are 50 stalls of antiques in there. It was on an episode of BBC'S Bargin Hunt about a month ago. I've been wanting to go since I found out about it a year ago, but I would want to buy all the dog ornaments they got. My credit card is screening noooo! One day I will treat myself. But for anyone who loves antiques, retro clothes, records etc, it is well worth a visit. Xxx

    Didnt know the story of the aircraft landing etc, yes i saw the damage one of the trees were causing, its roofs lifting the flags as they do.
    Premier Inn Bispham lifting all the tarmac on the pavement, lots of trees along devonshire road, also lifting flags tarmac etc, were the trees are, not to mention blocked drains and weeds coming out of the drains from grass seeds, they look great in parks and forests, areas that are not built up,

    10:30 - it was a pre-fab with Blackpool Sound Centre in it. It would be called a 'hub' now as it's where you went to buy guitars, drums etc., and catch up with all the local music gossip. (We've been here before Steve!)
    13:30 - wasn't that the old fire station?

    What’s the obsession in Blackpool with knocking down buildings and turning them into car parks?! Most of these sites look like prime housing sites and the former police station site at the beginning and end of your video looks like it would make a lovely green space in the form of a pocket park, the likes of which you see all over London.
