I remember my family holidays in Blackpool in the 1970s. Remember staying with my gran at the Romford Hotel on South promenade in 1971 aged 9. Not been for a while. Must get to Blackpool again some time. Was last there around 2008.
Merry Christmas to everyone and Stephen and also all the mods who work hard to keep the channel running. Hope everything goes well at Christmas and have a safe New year everyone
merry Christmas Stephen great shopping one remember the great shops which was in Blackpool managed to get over the other weekend awesome Mr C thanks for great updates all the best sir
Hi Stephen love your videos my friend..it seems to me that the council are concrete happy every thing is concrete they don't care about what the public wants.keep up the good work 👍 my friend stay safe.
Cheers Stephen all the same shops have closed down in Bournemouth as well and a lot more have shut down it dead down town now hope you had a nice Christmas 🙂✌️
Hi Stephen a big Merry Christmas to you, adlelaid street where houndshill is, right facing that entrance was heskeths chippy with the white garden tables outside, going back when I was like 8 year old or something, remember sat outside having fish and chips with my mum and dad, sadly no longer with us, over 30 years ago, remember the organ playing as we had our dinner, happy memeories, dont know what it is now, its been years seeing that street
It seemed like a fairly busy Christmas Eve shopping scene. Personally, I shop at an ATM and give money as gifts, much less hassle and no one seems to complain. Merry Christmas to you Steve and to all of my fellow subscribers.
There was a reply to this comment about poverty in Blackpool & thus a viewer from sunny California looking on. I don’t know if the comment in question is visible, I did try to make it visible, but to the person who made the comment, I’d like to point them to videos of Skid Row, then ask if they’d like to explain why Blackpool does not have anywhere near the kind of problems that California has.
Remember, Chelsea Girl, John Lewis, Richard Shops. C&A .Woolworth. BHS. Littlewood's. Miss Selfridge the Oyster bar on the front..and many more.One thing Blackpool is Clean. I worked at the Blackpool Opera House in the 70's the Town rocked.Every night the Theatre full. Happy Christmas Stephen. thank you for the blogs.Our Man out n about in all weathers.
The roller shutters on the shop makes Blackpool look very hostile. Blackpool looked great in photos of the 1960s etc. it’s the same buildings in Blackpool 60 years ago as it is today. People should be given grants to re paint their buildings. It’s amazing how a street could be transformed just by painting them.
If the City provided the paint/materials then locals could “adopt" a structure by placing a small plaque on the front and working 2 -4 hours a week on cleanup/repair. Steven, maybe You could see if an adjacent business would commit to "adopting" a vacant structure, while getting credit for donating their time. Cheers
Best wishes Stephen. A huge thanks for your time and effort getting these vlogs out. Stay safe filming these storm videos. Not seen much of Caroline James on your videos but great to see you and The MacMaster working together. Keep up the good work mate
Feliz navidad.A Chrismas greeting from a very warm Andalucía.Venga mas tarde. Feliz navidad.Un saludo navideño desde una Andalucía muy cálida.Venga mas tarde.
Blackpool looks very tired nowadays.My old home town of Walsall looks the same.Half the shops are shuttered up but Blackpool was magic in the 70,s and 80,s having been many times but just looks very run down to me.I do remember when Wollies was Wollies and known for the wind tunnel effect as you crossed the road there.Are there still all the great side street B n B, s still hotels or are they all shut these days?
Great video Stephen,Merry Christmas to you,Could you do a video where you spend the day with the Beer Monsters,just a thought,keep filming mate,we’ll done.

Merry Christmas Stephen . I remember when I used to go to Blackpool for a holiday , the National Express Coach dropped us off at Talbot Road If I remember correctly ?
Hiya great videos we've watched loads. So many we cant remember which one you went to Bob and Bert's but on your recommendation we went for lunch yesterday and really enjoyed it so thanks a million 😊😊
Liverpool Kev...Steven..It is time for our National Treasure...(no not Anton de Beck but your good self)....needs to put his feet up!!!...Happy Christmas again......Steven
Thankyou for showing Friday night freezing & also Christmas shopping We enjoy Catching up because I’m housebound & you make it all very interesting & thankyou Soo much Youre Videos are Always soo Brilliant We really Enjoy you So thankyou soo much xx
My imaginary shed in my imaginary dream house is bigger than that coach station hehe. Hope you are well buddy.. When you mention the lack of greenery, I would go as far their is plenty, but its of the smoking kind by the chavvy types sadly. The Vegas dinner has closed permantly? is that including the entertainment venue that it was attachaed too?
As always a fabulous video Stephen Thank you for showing a busy shopping Blackpool 🤗 always love your videos and we are wishing you a very MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎅🏻🎄and all the best in the NEW YEAR 🎉Thanks again for bringing Blackpool into our home throughout the year 🤗 Pauline from Blackpool living in Canada 🇨🇦 and Kevin who also sends Christmas wishes and all the best for the New Year 👍
Can't thank you enough for all your hard work I've loved all your videos and ive learnt so much about the place and I visit when I can I love the place Merry Christmas
Council filled all planters in with concrete and took gardens away because they couldn’t maintain them they’ve let all parks and gardeners go it’s same in out town.. although we do have some beautiful parks in the city
Great video Stephen. I remember the excitement about what would be in the big Woolworth's windows at Christmas. It was a completely different world then and I miss it
I remember when our mum bought us an MB Vectrex home arcade system from there. It was one of the best presents ever, and we still have it in working order.
Merry Christmas Stephan and continue making interesting and brilliant vlogs about Blackpool. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you and the rest of your subscribers 🎄🎄🎄🎄
Enjoyed your videos this year fella, Merry Xmas. In a few years time shops won't exist anymore because everything will be online, the Council people need to realise this and plan for it now.
When Boots goes, it's over. It's over anyway on the whole. Six miles away lies Lytham, home of generational wealth, and it couldn't be more different. Wealthy old people luxuriating in their inheritances create busy shopping streets. Amazon has largely killed the high street even though its encouragingly busy in your video.
k4815 you mean Lytham? Yes re coke, that'll be the under 50s who haven't yet realised what the look like. I mean the older people who have accumulated great wealth and sit in mansions they have inherited, whilst looking down on others. I still imagine Blackpool itself to be the crack capital though.
All the years ive been coming to Blackpool, and when driving around i always get lost or stuck on the one-way system, if you miss a right turn, you seem to go on and on , trying to find a right turn , once followed a car and ended up in the pedestrian area lol.
It was really busy here yesterday. One of my friends had to wait 40mins to get into Asda 😮 I was pleased I did my food shopping on Wednesday. I wanna wish you a merry Christmas 🎅 🎄

Can remember the advert for Richard Shops on the radio. How different it was back then.

People should be given grants to re paint their buildings. It’s amazing how a street could be transformed just by painting them.
I agree with you about roller doors!
The roller shutters
If the City provided the paint/materials then locals could “adopt" a structure by placing a small plaque on the front and working 2 -4 hours a week on cleanup/repair.
Steven, maybe You could see if an adjacent business would commit to "adopting" a vacant structure, while getting credit for donating their time.

Hi Stephen is the Krispy Crème donut shop in Houndshill?
I think so.
Enjoyed your videos this year fella, Merry Xmas. In a few years time shops won't exist anymore because everything will be online, the Council people need to realise this and plan for it now.
Merry Christmas Stephen,thanks for your great videos xx

Merry Christmas Stephen from Dawn and Simon🎅🏻🎄xx
Merry Christmas Dawn & Simon.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year
Happy Christmas Stephen enjoy.
I would go insane if I had to live there. The Poundland taking up a whole corner of the Street. The place looks like a prison.
When Boots goes, it's over. It's over anyway on the whole. Six miles away lies Lytham, home of generational wealth, and it couldn't be more different. Wealthy old people luxuriating in their inheritances create busy shopping streets.
Amazon has largely killed the high street even though its encouragingly busy in your video.
Also home to the largest cocaine use on the Fylde coast. I work there and it is not at all like it seems.
k4815 to me, it always seems worse than it seems.
k4815 you mean Lytham? Yes re coke, that'll be the under 50s who haven't yet realised what the look like. I mean the older people who have accumulated great wealth and sit in mansions they have inherited, whilst looking down on others. I still imagine Blackpool itself to be the crack capital though.
Stephen can I wish a very merry Christmas many thanks for a wonderful year of vlogs best wishes and kindest regards 🇬🇧
Same to you!
Merry Christmas everyone
All the years ive been coming to Blackpool, and when driving around i always get lost or stuck on the one-way system, if you miss a right turn, you seem to go on and on , trying to find a right turn , once followed a car and ended up in the pedestrian area lol.
Merry Christmas Stephen-thanks for all the great videos
Merry Christmas Steve
Merry Christmas to you happy new year 🎊🎁🥳⛄🎄🥂🍾🎉 keep the vids coming luv em all the best ⛄🥳🎄xx

Been going to blackpool since the early 60.s ..now it really is BLACKPOO....real shame how it.s gone downhill
It was really busy here yesterday. One of my friends had to wait 40mins to get into Asda 😮 I was pleased I did my food shopping on Wednesday. I wanna wish you a merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
Wowsers! My Asda was busy, but not THAT busy!
@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool oh it was bedlam 😂😂
Hello Steve hope that you are well I would like to wish you a happy Christmas best wishes take care stay safe xx ❤😅😅
