That first estate you drove through, West View, is my old home ground. Born and bred in the town on that estate.
I thought you were going down my old street but you thought it was a cul-de-sac.
It's not as run down now as it used to be in the 70's and 80's. Rough area of a tough town. I wasn't from fishing stock but we were surrounded by fishing families. My father was still in the same house until he died 13 years ago. He'd bought it by then.
The streets were safe to walk round and people didn't need to lock their doors, so long as they didn't mind their neighbours just walking in for a chat or a cup of sugar 😊
I remember one friend's house, they'd used the doors for firewood and often the only edible thing in the house was the congealed lard in the bottom of the chip pan, waiting for someone to "source" some potatoes!
There seems to be a lot more trees in Fleetwood.
Yes.
You have completely blown my mind ..ive been watching you for a while however to the point i recently lost my father who moved to Fleetwood from the tameside area of Manchester 5-6 years ago so t when i saw the title of the video it obviously struck a chord. As you continued to make the journey and talk i thought surely you won't drive through or past my dads place well not only did you drive past but you went onto elsinore which is where he lived 😢 😂 very emotional but thank you Stephen .
I was born and brought up in Fleetwood, my dad and his dad were from Fleetwood, my dad worked on the docks all his working life, your video brings back a lot of good memories, my dad died last year having lived all his life in Fleetwood, his mum and dad lived in the same house from when my dad was born, I hope you do another video of Fleetwood x ❤️
Took the great grandsons crabbing in those lakes on Tuesday. Had coffee and cake at Dolly's baps £2.95. Very nice.
Wow great drive around Fleetwood, there is some lovely views across the bay so thanks for a driving video Stephen.
Welcome to my lovely town of Fleetwood Lancashire.
Bringing back lovely memories has a caravan on broadwaters 40 years ago had fab weekend breaks ❤❤❤❤
I miss England so when I see trips like this I start looking at house prices.
Fleetwood doesn't seem to be to pricey so I'm tempted. I'm not sure my gaffer would be okay with my working remotely 5 hours ahead. Well the working remotely is okay but it would be impossible for me to do as built conditions surveys when I'm in the UK and working for an US firm. I'm not sure I'd be able to get a job in that area as an architect and earn what I do here. I saw a couple of houses that weren't far off the seaside for under 100k.
It's very tempting. I'm not sure I could bring my motor over plus it's the wrong side of the road steering wise but I've driven Us cars back in the UK before.
I know that dogs have to do 6 months quarantine but do cats?
Scratches head.
Thanks Stephen, great drive round, lovely views accross the bay 😊
Thanks for the video Stephen, there's more to Fleetwood than I thought. I will never again complain about the roads round our way, blimey they are a death trap. Would love to see Lord street and a few more videos around Fleetwood please. 😊😊😊
There are very few roads in that condition in Fleetwood, if you drive around some old Council Estates you will find roads like that in every Town or City.
We stayed in the Savoy hotel, on the Esplanade last year and had a fabulous time. I find it much quieter than Blackpool, and there's plenty of free parking near the hotel. Great vlog Stephen. Thanks.😀👍👍
thanks for the video. I have a bad head cold so went out to get some Fisherman friends here in New Zealand they have worked so I was pleased to see Fleetwood . My grandad used to take me with my model boat on the lake . We used to visit Fleetwwood alot as kids I guess cause there was not many shops and amusment places so it was a cheap day out for my parents, Love your vlogs keep up the great work.
Looks beautiful, hardly any cars ,Nice and clean,❤from the south coast 🇬🇧
The home of the group Fleetwood Mack. Always pay a visit when we go to Blackpool. Remember you video when you went the a couple of years ago.MUST ADMIT i never went where you went in the car.Very good video Stephen..............Again.
For a (former?) council estate it didn’t look too bad. I didn’t see any litter or graffiti and the houses looked in reasonable condition if a little samey. The roads however, remind me of my home town several years ago so your car bumping and shuddering along gave me some unwelcome flashbacks.😟
I was really impressed with the tree lined street you drove down; plenty of room for cars as well as trees if designed properly and with the right tree selection. It really lifted the entire area and was clearly a much more enjoyable street to drive along, as your commentary showed.
Finishing at the welcome home sculpture was the ideal ending point and reinforces what ‘place’ should be about…….home! Making the places we choose to live more homely, welcoming, vibrant, interesting and a whole lot greener are all vital for our physical and mental well being so thank you for showing glimpses of this in this video.👍🏼
I think I would want to live in the Mount Road area 14:54. Those elegant houses seem to be an oasis in a desert of, well, less desirable areas. I make no apology for my preference 🙂.
Funnily enough that area near the Mount gets a lot more crime than my area, the Shakespeare estate. Lots of HMOs on that street and surrounding. Just shows can't judge a book by its cover lol
@@FleetwoodLass Thanks, that is good to know.
Great to see a part of Fleetwood, I will never get to see as I don't drive. Thank you Steve xxx
I especially love the driving videos, really informative 😊
😂🤣😆best opening EVER! Stephen you are a genius. Wasn’t expecting that for sure 😅
Stephen, thank you, as always thank, for your video. I grew up in Fleetwood it takes me back. If you ever have time I'd love a tour of Larkholme.
Not been to fleetwood since i was 8 with my dad , Great driving video Stephen love the driving ones ty 😊x
Thanks Julie x 👍
This video brought back memories , my grandma lived on Brock avenue in Fleetwood and we used to stay there in the summer as kids . I told you that when we met you the other day
Nice video Stephen. I was a student in Fleetwood Nautical college almost 50 years ago and was staying in a house in 19 Mount Rd. If you happen to go there again please take a video of the house. Thanks for sharing such wonderful and nostalgic video
Very nice chief, I remember going there many a time from Cleveleys where I lived.
My first impression of Fleetwood is 8/10. Looked okay and felt safe. And that artwork by the bay is just perfect 👍
Drove down my street!
😯😯😯
Thank you for this. You drove past my Aunts house and also the house in which I was born. Hamlet Road.
Glad you enjoyed it
Excellent video. I have visited Fleetwood on numerous occasions but I have never strayed off the main streets or the central area.
Thank you so much for posting this. My hometown ❤
I'm watching this in Germany and I feel homesick! Not due back until the end of the year 😢
It looks very clean and tidy Stephen👍👌
Went to Haven Cala Gran in Fleetwood was terrified the first time I had to drive along the tram lines.
Great video, am looking at moving to Fleetwood and the drive around hasn't disappointed, looks a beautiful place
That was me walking round the corner onto mcbeth with a case of bubweiser after work 😂😂😂
Hi Steve me too can’t believe there’s only 25,000 inhabitants in fleetwood. I would say at least double that
Hopefully I see you in blackpool on Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday
Thank you very much Stephen for sharing your drive around Fleetwood very interesting and the weather looks lovely ❤️❤️👍❤️❤️
You are very welcome
I remember my parents always taking me to fleetwood market when we visited blackpool. It was brilliant fruit of the loom t-shirts, DJ mix tapes from the blackpool clubs and knock off aftershaves.
I think you were very wise turning left on Macbeth road, I used to live on Mowbray road and the road is so narrow, that most vehicles cannot get around that road without driving on the kerb even if there are no cars parked.
Thanks. I did actually drive down there earlier, but decided against it on this run after seeing just how narrow it was.
Hi Stephen thanks for another great video 😊👏
I did enjoy that thank you 😊 till the next one 😊
I love these kind of videos sir but I was gutted you didn’t go past the football ground as I haven’t been to Highbury before although I came close a few seasons back when we were in the same league. Blackpool v Fleetwood this season…. I’m not sure it will be as fiery as Blackpool v Preston though!! Don’t forget those derby day videos sir!! ⚽️ All the best…. Smithy
Next time!
Hi Stephen thank you for another great video as always a great drive I've never been on the back streets of Fleetwood very interesting I normally stock to the town its nice to see another side of it have a great evening xx
Loved the video Stephen I've never been to Fleetwood and I really enjoyed your drive I will give it a visit next time I'm in Blackpool x
Thanks for another video
Forgotten how big the place was a bit run down well it was when we were there last year
thanks Stephen for another great video
Nice drive around Fleetwood Stephen. Some of those streets are very narrow. I remember going there from Starr Gate on the tram in 2000 an epic trip. Absolutely love that view towards the end overlooking those hills. I’ll pop my parcel in the post for CRAP box to you next week a few wee gifts.
What a lovely pair! Dolly's Baps! Oooh, matron! 🤣🤣 xxx
Thanks Moonage xx
Some of those roads look like they haven’t been touched since the Romans built them.
Really good Steven very interesting
Lovely pair lol😊
Interesting video Stephen.
Nice seafront at Fleetwood.
No I can't believe that the population is 25k 👍
The narrow estate roads were probably built when tenants weren't likely to have cars. Nowadays two three cars per house.
Please do a walk around Fleetwood video please
Brilliant video Stephen.
Nice drive around video that's beautiful day and lovely views of the see
Good video Stephen we went for a drive there when we were staying in Blackpool this past June and drove down the esplanade and had a walk into the North Euston hotel (very nice) 😁 so it was like being there again 😁 Thanks and take care until next time Pauline from Blackpool living in Canada 🍁
Glad you enjoyed it Pauline.
Thanks again Stephen for a very interesting video. Weather good bit blustery. Think they need re tarmac those roads, one way to ruin suspensions. Arghhh. Love it !!! Loved your. Witty straight into it instroduction. Look that pair !!! Haha and. Baps !! You well on top form eh lol. Love your humour. Esplanade. Are you French ? (Joke). Man of many talents Stephen. I not been to fleetwood for. Absolutely many years. But got the tram from Blackpool near tower. Remember going in an indoor market hall. Quite vast in size, at the time want3d go to the fleetwood big shopping centre. Guess now called infinity is it ? Never even found were to find it, along time ago this was. Never even been to new place as. Need at some point venture to Blackpool, be fantastic to finally say hello to you !!!!! The statue you filmed at end. Very touching and in beautiful spot also, with all the views out to see, across coast, knott end and Cumbria mountains. Another great video Stephen. Keep up your dedication work !! Appreciated and recognised by thousands. A Legend !! ….. takecare. Di. (Greater Manchester Area). Xx
I only know round the Wetherspoons in Fleetwood lol
Hi Stephen form helen
Nice drive around 🧜♀️🚙
Fancy promenade pavement a donation from Fisherman's Friends's Mrs Lofthouse.
Good evening Stephen
Hi, you must obviously know why the North Euston got its name, but did you know Fleetwood has had 3 train stations over various years.
Brilliant driving skills down those narrow roads Stephen😮👏. We parked in that wide tree lined street last year when we headed to Fleetwood market😊.
Thanks Sheila 👍
EXCELLENT.
lytham st anns on the green
Forgot to say free parking and free clean toilets
Thanks Stephen for another amazing driving video it was great see around Fleetwood it look big area can't wait for next video
Thanks Wayne 👍
Driving round lots of Council Estates makes the area look rough that goes for anywhere too! there are also lots of bungalow estates here too! And if you go near the Golf Club and along the prom from Rossall School to Fleetwood Pier there are many lovely properties, put it this way my next door neighbour’s house £850,000 the other side £750,000 so hardly run down here! Let’s maybe have an alternative different drive around next time Stephen.
Haha I just looked back at my post and Couldn’t help but notice you had given every other video a Heart but not mine! So you are a bit of a Mard Arse! “Definitely” won’t be giving You any more “Likes” and I have always watched your videos! 👎
Fleetwood....kick one person in the shins, and fifty others start to limp!
Hi Stephen
Better summer's down there for defo more too do at night
Good video, they definitely need decent shock absorbers in their cars with the state of the streets. Well done for braving them
Are there any people living in fleetwood so far not seen anyone!!!!!
My nan used live and run the residents years ago not sure what year. Did u know a Eunice and Brian?
Fleetwood is absolute dive lol
Arkrights till in the market
If Blackpool economy is slow, then what do all the people who live in the houses do for a living? Where do they work?
i wouldn't mind trying a fisherman's friend
IT'S. SOME. PLACE. FLEETWOOD. I'M. IMPRESSED. WITH. THE. WITHERSPOON'S. THERE. I. WAS. IN. FLEETWOOD. OVER. JULY. JOHN. BELFAST 😢😮🎉😂😢😮😅
Id rather jack
Than fleetwood mac
Nice view count
hi steve 1940 s weekend 19th 20th aug
I thought Fleetwood was a giant council estate 🤔 & I'm surprised the residents have any suspension left in their cars those roads are diabolical & I though the ones around the town I live in were bad 😂😂
I came over to Fleetwood from France to look round the area, spent a total of 1 hour . What a dump , I was thinking about buying a property but decided not to bother and your videos reinforce my decision. Overall I thought the place was very rundown and probably lacked investment over a number of years.
I think the residents deserve better and the council shouldn't just neglect seaside towns.
Depends where you we’re looking Fella, and your Budget? Low end puts u near Town Centre!
@@a.d.c.1056 I felt that the main shopping area was run down and I agree with you there are some nice parts.
Fleetwood is much better than Blackpool.
Utterly depressing. Did they film "Shameless" on that estate ?
Tried to show our town in it's worst light, didn't work out so well.
Not as rough as you'd hoped eh.
Do you do any videos on morcambe bay it looks lovely home of the gypsy king Tyson fury .
That's nothing !!...You should see the roads in the Welsh Valley's !!!
Hi Stephen
