Loved holidaying in Blackpool in the seventies. We always stayed in self catering flats.Was there in the summer of 1976 when temps were in 90's every day for a fortnight.Pleasure beach was free ,you could just walk in but books of tickets.Thousands of deckchairs for hire on the prom.Students had summer jobs taking money etc for them. The old green and cream trams.Woolworths,Lewis's, Goldberg s etc open. All the markets in town and along Lytham road.Happy days.
I was there to in Blackpool on my summer holidays in 1976, Yes the weather was fabulous very hot, me & my brother were on the beach and in the sea every day. Great memories.
We went to Blackpool every year in the 70's for our summer holidays, And we always stayed at Mrs Norths B&B South shore. Great time's Great memories 70's & 80's. ♥️🗼🇬🇧
And today, with all the spent (or wasted), you could film a dystopian movie. Blackpool councillors, over the last 30 years, have a lot to answer for. They have trashed the place. Blackpool could, and should be one of the best places in the country to live.
Blackpool was more fun then than now, fond memories of the tower, swimming in the Derby baths, playing slot machines, eating candy floss, the Golden Mile, tramride to the old school Pleasure Beach to enjoy the Fun House in obligatory stockingfeet and went on all the other rides.
I worked summer season 1975 as a barman for norrie and yvonne barlow at station hotel talbot rd.best time of my life. stan morteson the football hero was a regular visitor.
Slight correction, the shot of a tram in Fleetwood would have been the 80's as the tram in question (Bolton 66) only arrived in the Blackpool in 1981. Enjoyed pictures generally though.
My parents took me and my brother here in about 1973, i was 9 and it was the best holiday ever. We stayed in the Seafield hotel. I still remember the family room we all slept in. I remember too winning the donkey derby and claiming a draught set as my prize. Brilliant brilliant times
So sad to watch this. I remember Blackpool when it was a busy bustling town, with happy memories. Look at it in 2024, hardly anybody on the beaches in Summer. It has become a shithole. Last time I was there, even the donkeys had left !
Does anyone remember the 2/11 store, I think it was on the corner of the prom and Waterloo road. Everything in the shop was under 3 shillings (15p). Was back in the 60s so a long time ago. Used to love going in there.
I vaguely recognise some of these places, the bus station in particular. The Funhouse, Pleasure beach and the ice rink. Also the spinning wheel at 0:40. Was it called the wall of death? Reminds me of how robust we were as children. It would be banned today.
What a comparison as to being a kid teenager in 70s once great, now a forgotten ghost town. Summers were better in 70s whichever resort you were holidaying.
For blackpool see every seaside town in the uk ,its over im afraid , people can jump on a plane for buttons and get a better weather and value for money ,sad but its a fact .
Was a little cleaner back then 😅 still same old dump with the locals blaming the governments when the locals do nothing 😅 alwsys was benefits town always will be 😅😅 the town should be turned into a living museum no joke that would boost that little dump over night facts

OMG. I've been inside that Tardis a few times in the past😀
Just shows how badly the UK has rotted now, Government after Government. Neglecting a once great nation 🇬🇧
ABSOLUTELY, Its bloody awful these days😩
Sad but true.
Blame the Tory Council for Blackpools decline ,all uk seaside resorts seem to have the same problem Tories in power

How much this country has sadly lost its fun and principles. Blackpool still has a great vibe.

Me too was working in the summer of 1976 at pontins..having a great time there..
Goldberg's was more the 80's.
My God! How did they let Blackpool rot? It was such a vibrant seaside city
Never have I wanted more to be able to climb into a photo and revisit a place. Marvellous snapshots of lovely old Blackpool.
We went to Blackpool every year in the 70's for our summer holidays, And we always stayed at Mrs Norths B&B South shore. Great time's Great memories 70's & 80's.

I was a student then in the 70s and have a great and sweet memories in Blackpool..so much different now and then..

Went every year for our annual holiday - we used to stay at the Cornhill Hotel on the South Promenade. Happy days.
Love this, absolutely love footage of Blackpool 60s/70s brings back so many fabulous childhood memories

DEFINITELY !!!👍👍👍
The country is now trash bring me back to those days

Pleasure beach was much better back then, more variety, especially for families. And free to walk around as well !

I had a trip on that hovercraft.
"Take me Back There....17yr, Better Times by Far
Fantastic times
Great compilation...brought back lots of childhood memories 😁 Just a teeny point, though...the last couple of shots are from Lytham, not St Annes.
I went as a school boy in 1969, never been back and won’t be going now but I can see that it was omce vibrant.
I've always loved Blackpool, but it was much better then.
Does anyone remember the 2/11 store, I think it was on the corner of the prom and Waterloo road. Everything in the shop was under 3 shillings (15p). Was back in the 60s so a long time ago. Used to love going in there.
Hope to see Blackpool in the 1990s
