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.
Your truly so awful the way you slag Bĺackpool off. Its a good town compared to other places. Why do feel the nessitity to insult all the areas. You never show all the decent places. Its so unfair.
I bet that is the entire police nightshift tied up at that address. Those little shops should go with a garage shop set up afterdark with hatch service only. Keep the little james blunt's outside.
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.
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.
Cant help noticing how less busy Blackpool appears these days - it used to be really congested streetwise, around this time of year but even the nightlife appears subdued . Good that you record the town's history though- its like a social documentary !
Expensive and sadly very much on the slide, more of a day trip area or weekend at tops, a week or fortnight for most families is just too expensive now, and not worth it.
Put it this way, you'd not think it was a bank holiday weekend - it's been shockingly bad. Sign of the times, unfortunately. The constant rail strikes, cost of living, and possibly people are saving for their upcoming winter fuel bills...
Its more thers nothing for familes to do after about 6pm most if not all the merlin attractions close about 5 or 6, the only places after this time for familys are the piers and arcades.
I miss those days. We used to go clubbing until the early hours, then decide to stay over . You could knock on the doors of B&Bs and find one to let you in at 4am .
Thanks again Stephen for another drive along vlog i used to go to the Brunswick Club many years ago if you weren't early you didn't get in it's changed days now
Just been on the prom and was full of families and a nice turn out, no trouble tonight and everyone seemed quite upbeat. This area has been troubled for sure but looks pretty quiet tonight. Great vids
Very interesting video Stephen. The area you drove round did look a bit doggy even though the houses looked quite nice. Saw the bloke on the bike overtake you and cycled through a red light.I remember the murder of that little girl whose body was never found.Very sad.
Can't believe how quiet it seems to say its bank holiday weekend, you are definitely in the right place in your car, thanks for your video always interesting 👍
Great drive thru Stephen. I live in Chorley and there are kids out on the streets all night every night. Its a real problem. I am talking 10 to 16 yr olds.
Really enjoyed your drive about round town and backstreet area. From all the numpties about these days. Not only nite is safe, but prob nite we all have to really be and have our wits about us. Bet you felt more relax and in safety of starbus Stephen ? Plus weather wise or when it gets really bad at least you be warmer, I enjoy all the videos you do, It’s all about your safety too well-being health and what’s right and safety first for you. Look forwards to. More. Videos. Takecare. Di xx
Hi Stephen thank you for another great video as always im coming for a week tomorrow I can't wait loved that drive there's always someone who wants to cause trouble how stunning does the tower look have a great evening xx
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
We are just near there on Devy rd, rather rude of you not popping in for a brew. I walk our dog round above area for past 30yrs , never had any trouble personally, mind you the dogs a huge one, haa ha. Thankyou Stephen, must go get ready for our Starman, hear your teaching us about the moon, catch you then Sir. Great video, loved it.
There doesn’t seem to be much art or literary activity in Blackpool..seems to be full of burger bars,massage parlours ,vaping shops,pubs and betting offices …it was much just the same when I left 52 years ago
Stephen we stayed jn Blackpool and we had a scarey feeling we walked to get to Gynn Avenue walked up Dickson Road alot of placed boarded up one got the feeling that Blackpool was dying off trust you are keeping well stephen
Cookson Street thought perhaps you might find Wayne down there Stephen as he’s in town lol. Not an area I’d be walking around at night especially the Talbot Ward. I can imagine the kids there all out at night hanging around causing trouble or problems for residents.
Hi. Stephen. If you are looking for a nice Street try Francis Street, just past Tower a couple of streets behind. You would never believe a street like this existed in Blackpol. More likely to be found in Cornwall or Devon
Certain roads u avoid a lot of feral round foxhall But if they do sport and get to arcade club they are ok Being feral end up in prison tossing salad U know how to keep safe Dashcam and audio is great Blackpool needs a competition for the hotel entertainers Illuminations world fire works Roll on 21m views
It's exactly the same where I live, cop cars driving round at night giving you the evil eye, police helicopter out most nights lol Joys of living near Rhyl 😂😂😂😂😂
Nice vid different this one glad you stayed in your car moss side in Manchester is a bit like the area your in no I don’t live in moss side stay safe keep posting
You want to come where I live Stephen always police sirens every day,yesterday loads police went past my street cos man was going crazy with a samaria sword,helicopter was out and so many police, I'm from Manchester
Hope you lock your doors when diving about me always lock them and iam 58 and 15stone still wouldn’t take the chance on someone car jacking is on increase in uk
I used to live on Gorton street and would never live there again even if someone paid me wasn't a nice place to live with my small children even they hated it there ... We live in Mereside now and it's a much better place to live.
@@sandralou8285 We did a bit of growing up at my grandad & grandma's flat on Braintree Road back in the 70's. It was a bit rough compared with where we lived in Marton. Our grandad used to take us over to Marton Mere to play in the arcade.
Yeah, standard clobber is a black puffer jacket, black joggers & trainers, a black cap with a hoodie over the top and sometimes a balaclava, and that is just in summer.
There have been at least 4 murders in Blackpool in the last year. One of them happened very close to where the video started, on Church Street earlier this year.

They must be filming a new series of 999 what’s your emergency.
It's a shame the Brunswick ward is a troubled area because some of those properties would have an amazing view of the tower ❤
Nice drive around Stephen i wouldn't walk round there Either, great video ty 😊x

It’s amazing how few apartment windows have a light on, it’s like they’re all vacant…

Best doing your driving videos for the more dogy areas at night. Steve. I love seeing the Tower doing it's light shows xxx
That building that looks boarded up is actually still in use, it is Elizabeth Street surgery and is still active as a doctors office.
Thanks for letting me know.
Mean ! You can say that again
3000 tickets in the amusement arcade and all I got for them was a pencil .
Wowsers!
Thanks again Stephen for another drive along vlog i used to go to the Brunswick Club many years ago if you weren't early you didn't get in it's changed days now
Glad you enjoyed it George

Thanks Ann.
Night time in Blackpool is something else can’t wait for the illuminations
Well done for driving down and around Grovenor Street my uncle lived there Steven
Great little video stephen think all the trouble starts as soon as you venture out lol look forward to the next one
Seems that way Richard lol
What's happened to Blackpool it looks a dead town now when i drove Coaches into Blackpool in 80s and 90 s it was busy every night even with rain 😢
its like that eveywhere now

Ooowa Cookson Street 😂it looks a bit rough round grovernor street lovely drive round till the next one 😊
Another great driving video Stephen keep up the great work up
Thanks Wayne 👍
There doesn’t seem to be much art or literary activity in Blackpool..seems to be full of burger bars,massage parlours ,vaping shops,pubs and betting offices …it was much just the same when I left 52 years ago
There is an art scene, but it's not that obvious. You can see local art at The Hive in town.
thanks Stephen for another great video
Yes driving you're best option
speller? 🤔
Stephen we stayed jn Blackpool and we had a scarey feeling we walked to get to Gynn Avenue walked up Dickson Road alot of placed boarded up one got the feeling that Blackpool was dying off trust you are keeping well stephen
Dickson Road has always been a bit dodge
Blackpool council destroying the charm and replacing with crap buildings.
You can see the gangs on the streets there. Maybe it was best to be on your car tonight lol
I love these drive videos
Love these driving videos
Great video Stephen thanks again
Cookson Street thought perhaps you might find Wayne down there Stephen as he’s in town lol. Not an area I’d be walking around at night especially the Talbot Ward. I can imagine the kids there all out at night hanging around causing trouble or problems for residents.
not anymore its gone. its being turned into council buildings alot oof them have been compulsary purchased people are stil lfighting it though

Hi Stephen, yes I saw a piece about it on Facebook.
Bank Holiday weekend and Blackpool is dead!! WOW.
Blackpool council should be ashamed of themselves
Certain roads u avoid a lot of feral round foxhall
But if they do sport and get to arcade club they are ok
Being feral end up in prison tossing salad
U know how to keep safe
Dashcam and audio is great
Blackpool needs a competition for the hotel entertainers
Illuminations world fire works

Bad memories with this video, I was in a band and did quite a few gigs in that area,, not nice., Talbot Road social club was ok though.
Honestly, you should be so careful. Danegerous what your doing.x
Carpack By the Sea! What Have They Done To Blackpook?
good evening to all from Cliviger nr Burnley.
i had to be by 6pm parents dont care now,i nearly bought a house on some of those roads about 10 years ago, glad i did not
Life seems downbeat now it’s the same everywhere Lovely evening but very few people liked the tower though just see it
Nice vid different this one glad you stayed in your car moss side in Manchester is a bit like the area your in no I don’t live in moss side stay safe keep posting
Thanks Brian.
You want to come where I live Stephen always police sirens every day,yesterday loads police went past my street cos man was going crazy with a samaria sword,helicopter was out and so many police, I'm from Manchester
Yeah, I'd like to take a drive around the iffy bits of Manchester sometime.
@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool you should come to Moston then it's gone bad where I live,never used to be this bad 👎
Once Blackpool was a town now it's a migrant drop off...
Hope you lock your doors when diving about me always lock them and iam 58 and 15stone still wouldn’t take the chance on someone car jacking is on increase in uk
Cookson Street! You just cannot help yourself can you Stephen!...😂😂😂
Nope!
@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool 👌😁
Were in Blackpool by the north pier its busy on the golden mile you did see Blackpool mick from tiptonthen he told me
Kids will be from the Met, roaming feral.
It’s so much lighter at the same time only 100 miles further south
Come on Steve !! Driving is CHEATING ! 🎉
Love the drive around videos stephen safer in the car at night
It sure is, thanks Julie.
You when pass my house 😅😜 no it's not normally that's busy with coppers around the every night but most nights
A friend of mine lives just off Dickson Road. She says there's always stuff going on lol, but she likes living there.
Yes it ok keep keep yourself to yourself and you'll be alright just like anywhere
Happy Sunday Stephen
You are like Fred West prowling around seedy areas of town in your van lol😂😂😂
Thanks for another driving vlog, Stephen👍. The guy on the skateboard dressed in black is taking his life in his hands!
He sure is Sheila, and the guy on the bike going through the red light.
Sensible choosing to drive rather than walk in that area at night
Hopd all ok
I wouldn't like to be walking there at night your best in the car plz take care❤❤
I used to live on Gorton street and would never live there again even if someone paid me wasn't a nice place to live with my small children even they hated it there ... We live in Mereside now and it's a much better place to live.
I think Mereside is a much better place to live. It's got more green spaces.
@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool it's true much more green space like Marton place near the Caravan park not that far from there
@@sandralou8285 We did a bit of growing up at my grandad & grandma's flat on Braintree Road back in the 70's. It was a bit rough compared with where we lived in Marton. Our grandad used to take us over to Marton Mere to play in the arcade.
I'm surprised your van wasn't pelted with rocks driving around that particular area of Caunce Street 😂 Full of feral children.
No offense, Stephen, but I'm getting a bit tired of Cookson Street! 😂
Going to Blackpool in Two Weeks staying at Tiffany's Hotel, Don't no what it's like.
How many DWP buildings do they need....so many empty ones
looks like Roxys has gone some great nights in there
Please always lock you car doors when driving around
This is like hoods of America with CharlieBo313
Haha, that's where I got the idea lol
Get a massage in Cookson street Stephen and let’s have a live stream. Am sure your views will go through the roof 😂😂😂😂
Can you stay away from Cookson Street lol
No lol 😂
Making Blackpool better? Better than what?
They had a storm
Just a silly thought DWP should take over the Metropole haha.....i wish lol
I have been told some security guard at central pier has done something disgusting
That's an interesting drive around Stephen. How about a live down the mean streets? Have you had a look at my channel? Cheers Andy Jenno 👍
"Making Blackpool Better"? Well, it could not get much worse than shown in this video.
Steven crossley Bridge layton I think.
👍😎👍
A nice drive Stephen 🚙🚓 I’ll check up on the kebab shop murder
Is it just me............ Or do all the kids nowadays dress the same???
It's like they're all dressed in an ASBO uniform 😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah, standard clobber is a black puffer jacket, black joggers & trainers, a black cap with a hoodie over the top and sometimes a balaclava, and that is just in summer.
Hi Steven how are you doing today 😂Ali Walsall west midlands england junction 10 m6 Walsall churckery
They knocked courts down yet
I wouldnt like to walk them streets with my 10k watch on
How many murders have there been
There have been at least 4 murders in Blackpool in the last year. One of them happened very close to where the video started, on Church Street earlier this year.
Need a night out soon with u steve ❤
