I used to love Blackpool when I was a kid and early teen, simpler times back then. Cheers for posting.
Blackpool has so much to offer, yet on the other hand has still so much to massively improve on and that was the case before all the closures due to COVID. It's really good to hear that they are finally investing in the town. Have a good week! - Nettie.
lol this is sheringham
@@WalkWithMeTim I’m confused, the video was about Blackpool 😁
@@WalkWithMeTim 🤣
@@earsandideas7266 it is blackpool
Blackpools old theatres are beautiful and bring back memories of many shows of times gone by
indeed Rosie
I was in Blackpool this week for a gig, which was in the Empress Ballroom in the Winter Gardens, having seen the Spanish Suite, I’m gutted I didn’t get a chance to explore there more. I have to say though, that Blackpool is the dullest and saddest resort I’ve ever been to, not so much for the resort itself, but the dilapidation and general condition of the surrounding areas with so many “guest houses” having been shut down and boarded up etc. I would have loved to have visited Blackpool in its heyday, people of an older generation speak so fondly of it.
agree I love this place
Just found your channel today and been watching for around 2 hours now, if that doesn’t deserve a sub I don’t know what does 😂 loving the content
Wow appreciate that .. thanks
My dad used to work in the police station and I was able to see it a few times in my life through seeing him at work and he showed me parts of it that weren't in use anymore the other year when people started to use the new police station instead. Had such an eerie feel in there haha
I know spooky
So haunting and liminal. There’s something about the old 60’s concrete aesthetic in parts of the UK that drive me crazy for some reason. Like looking into some nostalgia I wasn’t a part of or have even experienced. Like Thamesmead and it’s brutalist apartment blocks, I can’t even really describe it but it’s so much more interesting to look at and explore than the cut and paste stores/design you see everywhere now.
The backrooms
I agree , I’m old enough to remember when these brutalist buildings were brand new and interesting and modern . I love them 👍🏻 funny you should mention Thamesmead as I watched a video about it here on YT just the other week .
@@thornbird6768 Jago Hazard possibly?
Where do you live Dan?
They would be interesting if anybody cleaned the gunk off the concrete structures..
The Old Post Office was the Main Telephone Exchange where all the Telephone Operators used to work. My mum worked there in the 1950's and 60's. The building also housed all the electronic switch gear for thousands and thousands of telephone lines
oh wow! thanks Russ
I have started to binge watch your channel. I love your video style here. The music and the facts on the screen. Would love to see more of this! I am also from overseas living in the UK and I have a whole new respect for Blackpool than before. I sadly had a very uninformed and biased view, that it was tacky all around and that it was only amazing in the old days. It has a lot more charm than I thought. Thank you for educating me.
WoW! The start of your video, reminds me of the famous music video from the early 1980's by The Specials, called 'Ghost Town'! Thank you for showing us this very emotive video. xxxx
thanks!
Enjoyed walking with you, from the comfort of my seat, to one of our favourite places. Always enjoy Blackpool
Glad you enjoyed it
I was in Blackpool on 15/16-06-22 and to my surprise, it appeared as though some of Bonny Street Market was open.
I love Blackpool. It has so much to offer🥰
agree
Great video. I watched the previous one showing Blackpool off in the sun, brought back lots of fab memories and made me feel all warm and fuzzy, then clicked on this one, feel all sad again!
All the times I’ve been to Blackpool, I’ve never gone into the Winter Gardens. Cheers for the tour, Tim ❤️👍🏻
You are welcome brian
Good to see a video presented with such enthusiasm!
That was fascinating, thanks Tim. That Police station was HIDEOUS although to be fair nearly all 60's buildings are concrete carbuncles and need demolishing. Love the facade of the Grand Theatre, stunning as is the Winter Gardens. I really enjoyed this one Tim!
Thanks jeff
Lol they turned ours into a Hotel in wigan 😯
My Nan and my Auntie were both hospitalised for over a week after eating at the Winter Gardens (undercooked shepherds pie), upon release from hospital my Auntie died on the flight home after having a massive stroke.
I’ve hated the place ever since then, RIP Nan and Auntie Murial
I could be wrong, but I think the architectural design of the old police station is called 'brutalist'. In this case, especially the surrounding walkways too. I know I'm in a minority, but for some reason I actually like it.
@@sputumtube I agree, it’s very much a period design and once you learn about it, it becomes rather tasteful… Each to their own though!
The risks you take to keep us entertained @Tim... That's dedication.. Dodgy hotels, rough areas, quality checking all those fish and chips so we don't get food poisoning. Much appreciate!
Lol
He didn't even go near a rough area.
Wow! Someone doesn't understand a tongue in cheek comment.
@@TTOOS Well aren't you a delight! Do you do children's parties?
The old post office is still a fully functional telephone exchange. I’m in there most days and all the old desks, furniture and office space are still in place.
I used to regularly use the Abingdon Street post office. The interior was really quite impressive, with lots of very posh dark wood panelling. It also housed the main telephone exchange, which you could see when you walked around the back. Looking up at the first floor windows you were able to see the big mechanical switching machines that would make the clicking noises when you dialled out on the old style phones. Jeez, I'm old! 😂
Oh wow , thanks for sharing
A very nice production Tim, loved the drop down facts and particularly liked the camera movement, it really feels feels like I am walking with you
Thanks the idea of the channel, thanks for watching Andrew, remember to subscribe its free 😊
Each video just gets better. Keep up the great work of chronicling this sceptred isle
Thanks
The Morecambe and Wise statue is wonderful. Being in Australia, I never knew they got their own statue. Nice gesture, Blackpool. ❤️🧡💙
Morecambe
@@WalkWithMeTim Corrected. I thought I’d got that wrong. Oops.
There is a Eric Morecombe statue also. That is in Morecombe
@@Colgan1 That one's a bit gay though!🤣🤣
Hi Tim. Really interesting seeing the other side of Blackpool. Parts you would not normally see.
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow, the Winter Gardens, amazing building! I used to state with relatives in Blackpool back in the 70s and I remember going to the Tower and the Pleasure Beach but not the Winter Gardens. I missed out there clearly. It's all changed so, so much.
Its a beautiful building
There used to be a restaurant in there in the 1980s. My grandparents used to take me.
Fantastic Tim , what an outstanding vlog you have put together of The Winter Gardens, it is such a beautiful place and the history behind it is remarkable, your passion and admiration for the winter gardens is truly a breath of fresh air,.as always thank you for sharing ♥️😃👍
Glad you enjoyed it Stephen
Thanks for another great video. I had an aunty living in Blackpool in the 70's/80's and visited many times but never to the Winter Gardens. Stunning building. Have a good week. Debbie & Patrick
Glad you enjoyed it Debbie & Patrick
Bonny Street Market is set to reopen at Easter, due to the fact they won’t be starting any work on that side until next year I think it is, the new Multi Storey Car Park is going up first. The bottom of the old police station are some of the courts and offices too
might reopen but I dont think many stall holders will be there
I was born in Blackpool and spent the first 26 years of my life there. It’s a town that’s deprived, a fair amount of poverty, but the people are salt of the earth and down to earth.
The redevelopment of the town is well over due. Not just the front, but areas like Mereside, Grange Park, Revoe, Marton (Marton lad myself). Hopefully my hometown will start to get back to its former glory
yes agree
Marton lad here too.
@@Smudgie used to live on vicarage lane near the little Asda (former Kwik Save)
@@tangerinemisfit I lived just off Common Edge Road, not far from the Highfield pub. Nearly 40 years ago now though.
I’m sure Boris Johnson will come good on his promise to “level up” such deprived areas. He’s an honest man.
Blackpool Winter Gardens is a huge building with loads of venue within it, loads of things go on it it all yr from concerts, competitions and shows 2 mention a few also cafe and a restaurant. One of Mt favourite places there. Thanx for walk 🚶♀️ keep up the good work 🙂
Thanks for the info!
Blackpool is one of them magical places you went to as a kid, and going back as an adult is a complete let-down. Yeah, I've been back for stag do's and all that, had good weekends, but having a wander around where all the fancy old BnB's used to be, but now in so much of a decrepit state it's depressing.
Basically, there is no excuse for how it ended up if you ask me, they shoved immigrants in the BnB places, these places took that easy money, but it all got dragged down. For years there was no reinvestment back into the town... The council took the money and ran, probably hoarded in an Icelandic bank account and then lost during the financial crisis, as many councils money did... But noone can tell me that town didnt make money to be reinvested and maintained... Because if they do... I'd call them a liar!
I have little to no interest in going back to Blackpool if I'm honest, because everytime I do, it spoils memories I have when my grandparents used to take me.
thats a shame but understand where you are coming from
@@WalkWithMeTim Yeah, I mean, I'm a bit of a bugger for spying stuff, I love old architectural stuff like, a bit like yourself... But my problem is, I have a keen eye... To keen in fact. And it's just not here in the UK, as a comparison, take Paris, it's got the tower and all that, which all looks lovely when lit up on a night. During the day though, it is indeed, a s&*thole. Like, if your standing at the bottom of the Champs-Elysees just down from the cafes and shops and look down towards the ferris wheel in the Place de la Concorde, it's a boulevard (Petit Palace is on the right), it's lined with white flagstones, and obviously over the years, these flagstones have needed to be replaced. Now in such a place, you would "expect" them to be replaced with other similar flagstones, maybe not EXACTLY the same, but, given the location, you'd think they would try... But nope, what have they used... Tarmac, black horrible splodges of tarmac just dotted all the way down. I look and think.... That's terrible!
Another one for me is the bins there... OMG... The bins!!! :D While here in the UK we have decent bins, we've tried... Our bins generally have ashtrays in the tops now and a place for gum and they are solid things you cannot see the rubbish in... In Paris, they are just a bit of metal sticking up out of the ground with a bin liners held in place by a metal ring, usually white so you can see all the rubbish and the complementary 1000 butt ends just chucked on the floor next to them because the French do enjoy a smoke it seems, lol! But they just look awful, and again, your standing next to a touristy place, and they just whacked a poor excuse for a bin next to it, and if it's windy and the bag comes away, generally, there is just shite blowing everywhere. I could go on with Paris, but when they call it the City of Romance, lol, tell ya, I'd rather take the other half to Yemen! ;)
I've was there when I was 11,12, 13, 14, always in October. I'm 37 now and looking at this video isn't ehat I remember and it's a damn shame because it was my childhood memories. I'm from Dundee Scotland and never got to go abroad until I met my wife and started exploring the world first off Europe then now and always America been to every major city and going to New York was my dream Las Vegas was my wife's we went to New York at Xmas and best thing ever I felt like I completed something huge in life... that was for my 30th... took my misses to Vegas for hers went to florida inbetween them two years. We try precovid go away 4 times a year. But now... with the prices of everything not sure how we will manage to live that life. Daughter away to be 16 next year and still in mid to late 30s and my father passed and mums in end of life care... barely able.to have a date night now. Life just feels like everything around us is getting more and more depressing and this country is going downhill rapidly. Where will we be in 10-20 years...
@@WalkWithMeTim love your videos and hate at same time... to see childhood memories like this sucks the life outta you. But you give us fantastic content but sad at the same time. I'll.never stop watching
Winter gardens looks absolutely beautiful.
Thanks Tim for another wonderful walk . 👏🏻
My pleasure
I must be weird. There’s something about the gloominess and desolation I find quite comforting, those now forlorn, deserted burger bars and arcades that are ghosts of happier times. On the whole, I dislike crowds. Having an empty shopping arcade to myself is right up my alley. The melancholy of the whole place makes me quite happy for some reason.
Me too. I prefer the gloom of it all.
Tim, very interesting video. Blackpool has an interesting blend of old and new architecture. The Winter Gardens with upmarket bars and restaurants looks fabulous. Thanks for uploading 👍
You are welcome hope you have subscribed
As a kid I remember all the big names playing Blackpool Winter Gardens. Great it still looks so well.
yes its a great place
An interesting view of Blackpool, in fact a visual work of art, Tim. Thank you. 🙂
U are so welcome
I have always enjoyed my time in Blackpool. Love from Glasgow 🇬🇧
thanks Stephen
It is the capital of Scotland
The elegance of the Winter Gardens, the Colonnades, the Tower. All of these truly beautiful creations are in stark contrast to the tat of nearby modern structures and the vulgarity of associated "entertainments". The Victorians were a classier bunch than us.
Well, I was thinking of running a hotel in Blackpool, but watching your videos has really helped me to decide against it. I can't afford to take the risk, and there's so much competition anyway. It's not the right time it seems. Looks like it could be a really fun place, though.
Great Vid Tim it’s great to see another part of Blackpool
Thanks ross
Brilliant Vlog Tim. You're one of my favourite vloggers....such clever filming and music accumpliment.
Thanks Sandra

Incredibly well presented video with fantastic Blackpool history, Well Done sir really enjoyed that.
Many thanks! Sean hope you subscribed!
It's so eerie and fascinating at the same time! Great video btw dude I enjoy your content 😊👌
Thanks appreciate that
this was a wonderful video, it's great when you stumble upon channels like this. earned a sub no doubt about it!
Wow , thanks
Those Winter Gardens are stunning I have never been there despite visiting Blackpool many times. The town had so much to offer and is undergoing so much regeneration work. Bonny Street Market should be there for another year or so. Nice video Tim👍
Totally agree yes I said in the video till end of Nov but I cant see many going back and being open
@@WalkWithMeTim every stall on bonny Street market open yesterday including the 50s diner
The winter gardens host the match play of darts in July every year and it’s incredible love going for the weekend
Love Blackpool every year since I was young nearly time to get packed see you September not long now 💚🤣
Well done Tim on another great video. I will try and catch you live again soon!
Good video Tim,always went to Blackpool as a kid and loved it.I’ve been a couple of times with my family and got to say I’m still fond of the place.👍
Absolutely
Edited to include
I live 2 minutes from the sea in Clacton, I STILL come to Blackpool for my holidays!
I have mentioned on someone else’s video, it’s worth parking up at your hotel and buying a weekly travel pass for just £14.00
Buses and trams are so frequent and take you virtually door to door.
They’re even disabled accessible, wheelchairs and small disabled scooters are allowed on them too!
Roll on May when I next visit my favourite holiday destination!
I stay at a centrally situated hotel in Reads Avenue, for just £25 pppn B&B!
Thanks David Murphy, see you for a short break in May and a week in October!
Counting the days…
hope you have a good time
Very good, I visited Blackpool in 2017 and wandered about not once looking at it in the way you have.
Thanks Matt
At 1.46 the footbridge alongside T.K.Maxx was part of the C & A store I opened in July 1974. Blackpool was much busier back in the 70/80/90s . The footbridge crossed to the Promenade and the building opposite hadn't been built! Now I'm 79 years old and living in South Wales; it's warmer down here! I'll check if I have some photos from '74
you say that but after lockdown visitors went up like 200%
Do you remember C & A or was it before your time!
@@TheMichaelWilcock2016Railways as it left the UK market in 2000 I'm guessing Tim does. I've still got an oversized green denim shirt I got reduced as a gift by the staff on my 18th birthday in 1994; still wear it with a dress on occasions.
I was recommended your channel last night and now I must watch all your videos, brilliant and so insightful 😁🏴
Awesome, thank you! hope you hit subscribe
@@WalkWithMeTim of course! 😁
:-)
I attended the Rebellion festival last year and not only was a great time had (R fest outside on the prom in glorious weather was just perfect) but I couldn't get over how beautiful the winter gardens are.
In my 51 years on this earth and countless times I've been to Blackpool I've never been in the Winter Gardens...its on my to do list now.
Defo
Great Blackpool Tour that's my main holiday for the year and other holiday's during the year
Happy holidays!
The remains of the pedestrian bridge at 01:58 were part of a walkway from the Hounds Hill shopping centre directly to the seaward side of the Promenade. There was no access for prams and pushchairs and it was easier - and quicker- to walk at gound level avoiding all the steps. It was designed in the standard 1970s in the new 'brutalist' style of concrete much loved by council planners at the time (and no one else). The Promenade was much enhanced when the bridge over the road and te tramtracks was was demolished.
thanks for the info
That bridge was also the access to The Palace night club. The scene of my social embarrassment as a teenager in the late 80s
This was standard Brutalist ideological fare - only cars and lorries at ground level, all pedestrians and access to buildings at 1st floor level for all new construction. Bristol had similar raised access that was intended to go right across the city including escalator blocks for access. It was never fully realised and all that remains now are a few metres of orphaned terrace that need to be kept to provide access to the few remaining buildings.
Fascinating - thanks for posting.
Glad you enjoyed it
i moved to blackpool august 2021, i live 800 yards away from the tower, blackpool is really bieng overdone and beautiful, everytime i see the tower light up it makes me so happy.
same here!
Hi Tim nice to see you in blackpool again nice seeing the winter gardens I have never been in the wintergreen before I'll have to go in when I come down next
You should fiona
Never thought I'd like Blackpool as I'm a down south snob, but really enjoyed myself. I couldn't believe how big the beach was, love to go again before it gets regenerated.
Really enjoying the cinematography and narration, keep up the good work 👍
thanks
Fabulous video Tim, Thank You! ❤️
Thanks Yvonne
I enjoyed your video thanks Tim greetings from Scotland 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Thanks Ian
Hello from Canada. Enjoyed the tour. I wish all the best for the people and city of Blackpool.
hello Mb
Thanks for the video. Some great footage of the Winter Gardens - what a lovely building - and the shopping precinct.
Personally I've always found Blackpool the saddest seaside resort in the world. It always seems to be wet weather there whenever I've seen it, but maybe I'm just spoilt with Greece, Croatia or Portugal. A lot of Blackpool has also been ruined over the years by thoughtless building developers, that gigantic cube and its surroundings are simply awful to look at. Also, it's a shame to see so many buildings with boarded up windows.
Why were there hardly any people in the streets? Was it Sunday?
I hope this new development changes things for the better.
Nope midweek
You’ve not seen some of the European lowland resorts.
Try going on a sunny day you might find it's less wet.

Poor old Blackpool. Many memories both happy and sad, but haven't been back since we got out of the car in a multi storey car park, and were greeted by two blokes shooting up on the stairwells. We just looked at each other and got back in the car and left.
Omg
Looks a pure shite hole now....looks finished as a tourist resort....
Thanks Tim for another really enjoyable video
thanks Simon
I love the banner notes you have on this video! ❤
Great video Tim Blackpool never fails to fascinate.
agree
I used to frequent Blackpool from 2008 moved there in 2010 and left in 2013. Some of the best years of my life. Miss the place had a great time there. Back then the night life was great with Sanuk and Syndicate nightclub" French man's cove and tash.
love Blackpool
Great video drone shots and music you excel yourself on production
Thanks KK
Great video Tim 👍👍
Thanks 😃
About 60 years ago I remember Bonny Street was a fairground.I don't know when it became a market. We stayed in a b&b opposite the Joke shop , Bond Street ? across the now car park, was a train station then.
I know how time has passed
Lovely video, we love the Winter gardens they are beautiful. The old post office deserves to be saved and regenerated as they too are lovely buildings unlike the old police station which will be better served being demolished!!! as much as there is some very nice modern architecture such as the lights in the shopping area many older buildings were just so much more attractive to look at. sad to see so many closed shops but its the same story up and down the whole of the UK. Was very sad to also see Bonny Street market looking anything but Bonny! we always enjoyed a stroll around that market and i really think a new outdoor old fashioned street market needs to be included in the regeneration if the stall holders are still out there to make use of it?
Good idea .. maybe they will
Excellent walk Tim 👍
Thanks 👍 Mark
As a Glaswegian it saddens me to see Blackpool like this. I can remember when Blackpool turned into a mini Glasgow during the last two weeks in July. One thing hasn’t changed is the rain. The north of England like Scotland never recovered from the Thatcher years
Still does in season.
Yes lv been a few years ago came across as rundown, cheep , government's have neglected the north, also drove to Whitehaven the poverty was plain to see.
But the question is labour had Tony Blair in power for a decade and he gave you nothing.
I'm from the South East England, couldn't believe that the Train was running on diesel , something seams broken
They were thriving through the Thatcher years... Most of the places that are run down in the North of England have been Labour run councils for most of their time.
I've just come back from 4 nights in Blackpool and let me tell you, it's still a mini Glasgow in season. My hotel and all the hotels on my street were full of Scots, in fact I'm adamant there were more Scots than locals, it was quality.
@@alistairpatterson429 my son and daughter in law are heading down on Friday for the football they are really looking forward to it weather looking great. Booked into big blue hotel 🌞🌞

Thanks 👍
Great editing Tim very Professional.
Thanks
I would like to see even more interiors - the Blackpool Tower Dungeon (!), and the Grand Theatre look amazing. The drop-down comment facts are interesting and add a lot and the weather adds to the atmosphere. Never been to Blackpool but this really makes me want to go. IMHO this is one of your best videos. Greetings from sunny (dry) California.
hey CA
Good video for those who have no opportunity to visit Blackpool. I liked it. Thanks for uploading.
Welcome
Fantastic video, makes me want to go again 😀.
I was last there around six years ago. I was in the same hotel you mentioned, i was in a window less room next to the kitchen during a week off very strong winds so you can imagine kitchen noise and banging doors all night!!! That was fun...
Being from Essex south end on sea has a very similar vibe to Blackpool a lot shutdown shops but no gravy with the chips 🤗.
no gravy and chips
How different this place could look with loving care . I so hope they keep all the old buildings . The town at the moment just seems so sad and run down
but Blackpool is great! with these old buildings
@@WalkWithMeTim needs a massive investment .
Market was open and very busy when I went in June, sadly it's last year😓
Will watch later,thanks Tim,hope alls well with you and your family 👪
Thanks 👍
Beautiful building 😍😍😍🏫
Agree
As someone who lives in Blackpool... yeah no it's depressing. The actual residential areas are much, much worse. We have some of the highest levels of deprivation in the country.
It would be funny if you included the NSFW shop from Dickson Road just to set off some pearl-clutching old biddies but demonetisation is a thing, sadly.
I hope you enjoyed your stay, though. It's nice to see such honest appreciation! Recommend the Vintro Lounge near the WG, the food and staff are lovely 👌
thanks for the feedback and giving it a watch ;-)
I also live in Blackpool and it’s certainly not what you’re making it seem. Every town/city has deprived areas. The area in which I live is pretty and calm. I’ve lived in Stoke-on-trent and Warrington and I can assure you, Blackpool is not depressing.
But I guess life is what you make it
I’ve lived in Hull and Birmingham.. Blackpool is so much better. Blackpool is not “deprived” - if you mean the Council has not create enough jobs for locals that’s not true. Compare to the Blackpool in the 70s so much has changed. A lot of improvements have been made ( like the new Council Buildings currently being built and hence creating more jobs for locals
You can see why people buy these large, beautiful, derelict buildings and convert them into houses. I saw a couple who bought a disused bank for 50 grand, converted it into a house for around 200-300 grand and they said if they were to buy a normal house in a similar size it would've cost them upwards of 1-2 million pounds
agree
Thanks for fab informative video. My wife loves Blackpool. She says the allowing Bonny street to stay open for this season before closing.
Yes till sep
100% with you on the market, we went for the day back in September and the market wasn't what it used to be when we were kids.
it used to be a great place
How different it looks in the rain !! Such a shame the Bonny St Market is gone ! places like that give British seaside towns a retro charm .
I love the town I live in its beautiful 😍, I've actually danced on the winter Garden stage and ill tell you right now it is nerve racking looking out on all them people 😀
Great choice of music, Tim! 👍
agree ;-)
Brilliant Tim. Both informative and a little sad but with beautiful haunting music. I hope the Bonny Street traders will be offered a new site when this season ends. Also the Chariots of the Gods development starts pdq. I remain optimistic for the future of the national treasure that is Blackpool. :-) Thanks.
me too ;-)
Very well filmed, edited and presented , very informative, good graphics , good music
thanks!
Love The Winter Gardens, I've been a few times for the Darts 🎯
Lol
The 60's and 70's is responsible for some truly grim looking buildings.
Good points.. they thought they where art decko
Quite funny. 11011 (as in the shapes on the lamps of the Old Post Office) bring up the Ascii character of an empty box if you do a binary to ascii conversion. Time travellers exist amongst us!
Use to work at winter Gardens.. there is so much more to the building.. more rooms xxx
Blackpool is rather rundown and depressed in a lot of ways but it has some phenomenal venues and public spaces if they could only figure out some way of attracting more people back.
Like I said in the video
