    I'm a child of the 50s, and I remember the beach being full of folk on deck chairs. There were stalls on the beach where you got a large jug of tea for 2 shillings and sixpence. That's 12 and half pence in decimal money. You had to pay a deposit on the jug so that you'd take it back. Tea, homemade sandwiches, plus sunshine, and you were set up for staying on the beach most of the day. Good old days.

    The Imperial Hotel looks so majestic. A really magnificent building. A haunted Blackpool sounds good. I don't know any of the buildings in Blackpool that are haunted so that would be interesting to find out.

    I think your idea of a haunted Blackpool special is great, Stephen, everybody loves spooky ghost stories. Told only as you can in your own inimitable way. I would love to see that.

    Those gardens are so lovely and peaceful.

    Thanks for the video Stephen, gloomy everywhere by the looks of it good bit of wind would sort it out. Middle walk would be stunning if the council did it up, so many places with beautiful architecture left to go to ruin such a shame. Christmas by the sea is busy it's got the right mix of adult/child entertainment nice to see. 😊😊😊

    Thank you for another very interesting video Steve.
    As much as I enjoy looking at the Tower and having it in the background of many fotos, I was delighted not to be able to see the it last Saturday morning. I was also delighted to have the Tower missing from some fotos. I love it when the Tower goes missing in the fog.
    A clip of Allen Bradley being knocked down by the tram can be seen on The Big Quiz Coronation Street vs Emmerdale which aired on 23 December 24.
    Jubilee Gardens is being well looked after by a wonderful team of volunteers. Well done to them for all their hard work.
    Hopefully they will be able to restore the Colonnades to their former glory and use them to host nice events during the day, but close them off at night. A similar area in Brighton is full of small cafes and shops but unfortunately I don't think Blackpool have the population to support this. Xxx

    Hi mate another great upload really enjoy you’re content I’m a subscriber of 2 years and watch regularly. You might be a bit young lol just a wee question me and my mates first visited Blackpool 50 years ago 1974. When we visited in 1980 I’m sure we visited a disco yes I’m that old lol on Chapel Street across from Central pier we are having a debate half of us think it was called Adam&Eve the other half disagree wondered if you know altho I think your 5+ years younger than me so might not remember I’m 62. Over the last 50 years I’ve visited Blackpool nearly every year only missing about 3 years over 50 and during my youth and when I was single I’d visited Blackpool twice a year , 1st week in August and Glasgow September weekend and continue to visit after getting married and visit every September with wife and friends and stay at the Madeira Hotel on Hornby Road a cracking wee hotel a real gem old style boarding house keep up the great work Stephen also love your uploads with McMaster 👍

    Why have the walkways been allowed to fall into such disrepair? Anyone on the council heard of periodic maintenance? Or do they just wait until things fall apart, close it off and tear it down?
    Guess they are more worried about putting in another price-gouging car park than fixing what they have.

    • @keving331
      @keving331 18 дней назад +2

      Because over 80% of council tax revenues end up as handouts to the locals (so called “social care” benefits payments), and it’s a legal requirement for councils to pay out whatever is claimed. There’s nothing left to pay for shared community facilities - roads, the prom, parks, etc.
