Friend of mine closed down his shop here in Manchester, that had been open for 30+ years. He said the customers were still there, but what was killing him, absolutely killing him was the constant rent increases, business rate increases..
Evening Stephen I’m looking forward to see the sun shining, it’s been the same in London overcast most of the time. I love to hear the sea gulls, reminds me of summer holidays and the sea looked just great. !’
Hold on they closed a carpark? My God 😂 Oh well they can demolish the empty shops and make more carparks as blackpool is aiming to be carpark capital of the north west doesn't matter if anyone uses them so long as you have them😂
Hi Stephen. Thanks for the update on the goings on in Blackpool. it's all kicking off this year. I am hoping to come again end of May beginning of June. Hope you will have a good summer in the UK this year. I haven't been in England in summer for a few years now. it's a shame about all the shops closing down. it's the same here. because people are buying everything in the internet. I like going in the shops.take care and stay safe. Mildred. 🥰
Fantastic video stephen everything is good that sea is amazing I have made a wish I am here on the 14 th Feb for 2 nights maybe I bump into u those waves are fantastic 🎉🎉xp
i stayed in a b&b in coronation street back in the 80s old school gruff landlady no nonsense until she got to know you then brilliant great memories went back many times treated like family probably passed on now the good times.
Always late to the party these days. Thank you for you video and time Stephen. Stanley Buildings will look beautiful when finished, everything over runs these days. Cannot believe a car park is going to be replaced with a building, keep us posted on that one Stephen. Would love to be in Blackpool by that high tide, the air is good to breath in and the smell of the sea is something else.😊😊😊
Anyone remember when the Print Shop on Caunce St. Was the driving licence centre? You had to queue for an hour to tax your car. And the frustration when you got to the desk and were told you didn't have the correct docs!
Thanks for the update Stephen. Was quiet yesterday in my town in Gloucestershire, mondays normally quiet. You know i would rather go looking around shops to buy things, than shop online, i do not use Amazon, i would much rather go into the shops 😊😊
Evening steven id say go and buy a metal detector youd be suprised what you find on the beach with 1 of those the electrical shop looked great i wonder if it sells drones it most probably sells everything in there blacklot cinema looks good and the style of the building opposit it looks quite grand i were in eastham ferry park earlier and eastham ferry hotel is a grand building it was once a huge mansion house theres 4 floors in total must be about 50 room inside of it and the woods is great for walking around cheshire farm is there i think youd enjoy that in the summer the guy in the wheel chair on the prom wasnt half going at some speed people like that guy amaze me how they get about theres quite alot of stuff going on in blackpool today looks really choppy on the seafront those waves are epic rolling in and out and you managed to film my besf mate lol mr seagull i love feeding those birds but thanx for the video enjoyed todays again enjoy your night snd enjoy your day tomorrow keep smiling and being you 👍❤️😊🕊️🗼🏖️✋
It's like where I live I'm sure they keep setting up roadworks and then start somewhere else before they finish the first lot and so it goes on and on.
Great video as always. Maybe it's just me but did it feel like the footage perspective was a bit lower to the ground than usual if that makes sense. Not a criticism just wondering
MaccyD's probably got fed up of their windows being bust by antisocial types. Also the decoration inside is so grim now they don't want you seeing it till you are in the door.
@@georgesmellie8717 good morning George,thanks for text didn't see it till late last night. Glad you're ok. All ok here too. Had nice weather yesterday and same today up to now although still feeling cold. Playgroup this morning so gearing myself up for a busy day. Take care have a good day,spk to you soon bye for now. 😊x

I think shop prices have increased dramatically and poor shop owners have pay more and more for leases, rents etc. Sometimes its just not worth it anymore.
Always surprised at how run down Blackpool is . Those piers are all scrap . Go for a walk on any pier and check out the boards you walk on .. better still don't. It's every town in England though . 😊
When you go around you show us all the old industrial buildings not in use anymore and years ago this would of been local places of work you could walk or a short bus ride away and people had time to shop local, Like Bristol the councils across the country had all this land that couldn't be use for housing in the late 70/80's due to what's hidden below then let's make Business/Retail Parks so in one action the councils killed local work and local high streets where you could buy most things, Cynical seagull would say after WW2 a lot of land was sold off cheap to mates on the golf course if you had the right handshake. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Totally agree
Your narrative is very natural and you are talented in vocal presentations. 😊
You could be an ambassador for Blackpool ❤😊🎉
Thanks for you time Stephen, really appreciate the time you spend on getting videos to us.
Thanks Jan 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I like that Stewart's shop. Reminds me of Tandy. Back in the good old days.👍
Blackpool fire brigade on permanent standby for more disused hotel fires.
The winter garden's sound nice ❤😊🎉
It's like where I live I'm sure they keep setting up roadworks and then start somewhere else before they finish the first lot and so it goes on and on.
The high street has had its day , revamping is in order too many old buildings
Great insight Steve
Great video as always. Maybe it's just me but did it feel like the footage perspective was a bit lower to the ground than usual if that makes sense. Not a criticism just wondering
Cant wait for Wednesday travelling from Hartlepool for bowling for soup!!! 🎉 nice update would be lost without your vlogs
@@mabtastic3343 Should be a great gig
@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool Cant wait Stephen with Wheatus supporting
Hey Stephen I can't wait for those hot sunny days in Blackpool with loads of people having a mooch about town so thanks for a fantastic video 😊
At least we are on the way to warmer days John.
This is not the Blackpool I remember. What's happened to my birth town. I can honestly say I no longer feel homesick for Blackpool 😱
its nice to see a lot of work going on, nice choppy sea today, thanks
Wish we was with you Stephen, great video so looking forward to the next.
This video made me reevaluate my priorities in life. More laughter, more cats🍒
MaccyD's probably got fed up of their windows being bust by antisocial types. Also the decoration inside is so grim now they don't want you seeing it till you are in the door.
Just caught up thanks Stephen 😊x
Good evening Hazel i hope everyone is OK at your end all well here take care and i hope to speak to you soon

I used to watch coronation street with my mum ❤😊🎉
It looks like an extension to macdonalds🎉 Steven
I'd rather be here in southern California ❤😊🎉a great video though Stephen 😊
Blackpool sounds busy ❤😊🎉
It looks cold 🥶❤😊🎉
Love the sound off seagulls whatch your chips ha ha 😊😊
Evening beautiful building the Salvation Army always look up at buildings as you say 😊ooowa Cookson Street 🛏️🛏️😂 has if you need a t barbers nail bar plus vape shop 😂😂 Blackpool Tower standing proud love the sound of the sea yeah would live to be there till the next one 😊
The Pounderstrecher building is being sub divided into three units I heard
Perfect for a Turkish Barbers, Vape shop & Nail Bar Superstore!
I think alot of those shop buildings need turning into affordable housing to encourage people to re locate to the town
It would be better to turn them into buildings for living when the shops can't survive.
Blackpool looks like it could use a face lift ❤😊🎉😢
Got caught up in this yesterday
Probably all at home shopping on the web for all the stuff they can't buy in the shops any more.
Nice One Pal .
Great video
Thanks for the walk around stephen, i have heard a rumour about alot of damage to north pier from the last storm, any truth in this as you know ?😊
@@dianeshepherd7913 The Helter Skelter blew off. Not sure about anything else.
Great video as usual
Looks dreary, since covid ,folk lost there appetite for good old retail and engaging with each other!
Stephen 2.40 in Video have they turned the old ski shop and register till place into house's, Never notice it before, Hope your keeping well
I think shop prices have increased dramatically and poor shop owners have pay more and more for leases, rents etc. Sometimes its just not worth it anymore.
Yeah the closed shops make it look sad, do you ever see Seaside Colin hope everything is ok with him.
Sea looks rough enough
amazon is rip off now, if you spend under £20 is 4.99 delivery
Was it just my eyes or was there someone living in that empty building,time stamp 10:32 ,top flat, furthest right. Great video Stephen
Looked like a reflection Diane, but some people do live in what look like empty or abandoned buildings.
Anyway you can get a sound device that emits all the copyright sounds, some kind of noise cancelling app?
Always surprised at how run down Blackpool is . Those piers are all scrap . Go for a walk on any pier and check out the boards you walk on .. better still don't. It's every town in England though . 😊
Did you know this video is only available at 360p as opposed to your usual 1080p?
Videos take that long to upload on TH-cam that they deliberately downgrade the resolution till it's been up an hour or so
@@andrewclarke6672 well I never knew that thanks
3.05 in Video can you remember the name of the pub that stood on corner of church st and cookson street ? it was a bass northwest pub
I'll name that tune in one..van Morrison brown eyed girl 😉
This video is an example that there is still something in the world that can surprise and make you laugh😚
Yeah, there is ... AI bot comments everywhere.
@@martinwebb1681Lol
4k👍fixed
00:06 was that a crash?😅
@@bigchris80 Could be lol. The temporary lights were going haywire
Great seas
360p!?
I used potato 🥔 cam
I think everyone got poorly from the fake cigerette epidemic in blackpool god bless blackpool
Yes Stephen same over here in Lisburn
Northern Ireland town centre is losing shops left right and centre 😰😰
When you go around you show us all the old industrial buildings not in use anymore and years ago this would of been local places of work you could walk or a short bus ride away and people had time to shop local,

The shop fronts look a right mess.
I used to watch coronation street with my mum ❤😊🎉
