    I was born in Victoria hospital and grew up on the Grange park estate. This brings back so many memories! I used to ride around north and south shore on my bmx. My dad was in a wheelchair and sold the gazette newspaper outside C&A till we moved to California in 1989. Blackpool used to be fantastic growing up. Such a shame it's deteriorated so bad but let's face it, the whole country has gone to the dogs.

    Just wish I could go back to 1989 in Blackpool when I was 31. I have fond memories of driving from London to enjoy my favourite amusement in town on the night of December 15/16 that year, 12 hours from 9pm to 9am at the Fun House in grey stockingfeet. Sadly like other buildings and attractions such as the Derby Baths, Wild Mouse, Log Flume, and the sound of the old trams on the promenade, they are no longer there. But there is always the Tower, three piers, Winter Gardens, the Pepsi Big one rollercoaster.

    The good old days when blackpool was fantastic packed and one of the best places to go in England, and now its one of the worst places its so sad, unmployment, drugs, businesses closing down, full of homeless it would take a miracle to turn blackpool back to the good old days, and its happening all over nlt just blackpool, ive just come back from blackpool it was terrible, after over 50 years of foung to blackpool i wont be going ever again its sad and very upsetting to see it like this 😭

    Just wondering if anyone knew where the white windmill is at 21 seconds? Used to visit blackpool as a kid and mom mentioned that we went to Frank's fish and chip shop, possibly near a windmill and a woolworths 😊

      @djmt444 Год назад +1

      Woolworth was more or less opposite the South Pier, a little more in the direction towards Central Pier, but nearer to the South Pier than Central. The windmill was on the same side of the promenade as the piers, again between South and Central, nearer to South as I remember

    Blackpool was much more cheerful and prosperous in those days when Covid and Vladimir Putin were unheard of. This is how I prefer to remember it from visits in the 1990s.

    Last went to Blackpool back in May 2009 felt more like February!My Goodness! Totally run down . Chavs everywhere . Nowhere took debit cards 💳 “ cash only” posters of acts I hadn’t heard about for 25 plus years everywhere still playing in local venues! Cannon and Ball , The Krankies , The Grumbleweeds ! . I heard since then the local council have spent a lot of Money improving Blackpool though. And they have closed that bloody awful Pontins down( only 4 months after we went). Sorry if I want a rough rundown seaside resort I will go to Southend on Sea it’s only 55 miles away lol.
