    Kids looked like they were giving the shop owner a bit of hassle. Best place to be is inside your car, we've got a lot of places like that up here in Glasgow too.

    I lived in Blackpool for a couple of years in the early 1980s and watch your videos with some happy memories and some dismay. I lived in a B&B in Charles Street and then in a flat at the Livingstone Road part of Reads Avenue. The place seems to have changed a lot. I understand there are many more social problems in Blackpool now than then.
    We used to have a decent enough pint in the Bunch of Grapes (I think it was called) on Market Street. It was near a great independent bookshop. And one called Raikes Progress (I think) on Raikes Parade with pool tables.
    There was a Beatties shop in Hounds Hill which stocked a good range of Airfix models etc. I had no car then so spent a lot of time walking. I never recalled any real problems even late at night.
    There was a cinema on Church Street, near Cookson Street, where I can remember watching Blade Runner about fifty times. And swimming baths on Lytham Road ( think) where I learned sub-aqua diving.
    So, decent memories, but it really appears to have changed.

    • @AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool
      @AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool  Год назад

      50 times Blade Runner??? Still, it's an epic movie. I remember Beatties well. The cinema you refer to is The Regent, which is still a working cinema. The baths on Lytham Road was the Lido, and is now an Enterprise centre for small businesses.

    Bit like that plenty of police 👮🏻‍♀️ around certain areas in Huddersfield, you just don’t feel safe anymore, there’s nothing much for the young ones to do anymore, either walking around or sat inside playing video games 🎮, no youth clubs etc, can certainly say that things are getting pricey now, stayed in one place Friday to Sunday, cost me and the wife £140 just for a bed, cost us £200 to stay at a caravan park for the week (we have a touring caravan), still works out cheaper too, like most areas there’s good and bad areas
