Love this video, Stephen. You have taken in the stamping ground of my youth, from Lytham Road bridge (the little alley across from Hampton Road was where my grandad had his garage), down to the Highfield Road end where I lived. The house that you pointed out with the Eliott Booth sign has been converted into flats. It is quite important locally, as it was owned by some show business agent, who used to have his acts staying there. Kumara (the house's name) has hosted the likes of Laurel and Hardy, and Bette Davies. The Park View home used to br the BLESMA Home for blind servicemen. I think they used to make poppies there. Thank you so much for this, Stephen. You really have cheered up my evening.
Great Video Stephen. Although at the beginning of Horncliffe Road, I noticed there is a property with a rather swanky chimney stack - surprised you didn't look up, to this architectural feature....
That big green on lytham road use to be a animal vet for blackpool circuis and a bloke got eat by a lion hence the name albert and lion next to the tower
The big mansion that is now a care home was the home of an old lady member of the Horrocks cotton mill owner’s family. When she died the grounds were given for the playground and the mansion became the BLESMA (British Limbless Ex Service Man’s Association) home. I used to play on the park in the 50’s. There were tennis courts, rose gardens, bowling greens, etc. Why can’t we afford to keep our public spaces like we could just a few years after the war?
We lived in one of the terraced houses you passed opposite Hampton Rd You are walking my paper round which in those days had to be done twice a day. The houses in Windermere Rd mainly took the Times, Telegraph or Financial Times. Very interesting Steve. P.s. I remember the trams passing in the front of the house. Behind the house were the steam trains heading every few minutes into Central Station. It was pretty noisy for guests though we were used to it. Thanks Steve
Louie Horrocks Park was a fantastic park years ago. They had tennis courts ,crown green bowling, toilets and an aviary. There was an attendant based there as well. Still a decent park for kids to play.
Hi Stephen, Great to see that you are now including the Electric Scooter Brigade in your intro's shouting Blackpool, Blackpool lol. As the saying goes, If you can't beat them, Join them lol. They are appearing in your videos more than the sirens now lol 😂
@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool I think you said /roz/ and it is pronounced /rose -rows/. I feel very pedantic now! Thanks for letting me see my area from my sofa in Madrid is the important bit of my post.
The lockers are for sending and receiving parcels. People who use selling platforms such as ebay will use them. Aso can return online orders. They are very useful.
Hello Stephen, i have heard that the width of some roads is due to the space needed to turn a coach with horses around 🤷♂️ depending on how many horses would be hauling the coach and the size of coach going back mid victorian time.
They are for receiving parcels, yes. You can choose to have them delivered to a secure locker at a location of your choice. That way you don't need to wait in all day for them to deliver directly to you, and you can go and collect it from the locker at a time that is convenient to you. Uncollected parcels are returned to sender after 48rs, if you don't collect them.
Yeah the old building was Arnold junior school . The Senior school building all gone . The corner property for sale may have been part of the schools boarding house divided into boys & girls
Hi Stephen....Liverpool Kev here again....Thank you for another interesting video...May I ask what camera equipment you use for video?...It is so in focus and so smooth....not like my video haha...please let me know...All the best as ever Stephen....Liverpool Kev
Hi Stephen, did my eyes deceive me or am I mistaken. Looking at the car park prices and saw “Motorhomes £12.50 for upto 24 hours” but the car park looked to have yellow height barriers?
Hi Stephen. thank you very much for showing all these lovely houses, A very interesting walk around, xxx
Thank you for sharing Stephen another great video
I’ll be visiting Blackpool today- can’t wait

Yeah you can have your parcels delivered to them lockers and if you care sending parcels, you can drop them off in them too. Loving your vlogs.
The Fylde Bus dept had a great canteen. We used to go in even though we didn't work there. The breakfast fry up was huge.
@@peterparr3079 Used to be a good place for an MOT, as well.

The little houses next to Armfield Acadmy were Westover and Arnold house (I think) it used to be the boarding house for the junior school.
'Rose' is pronounced like the flower in Roseacre. Very very much my part of town. Thanks for the tour of my streets.
Ahh, like Ros-acre, not rose-acre?
@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool I think you said /roz/ and it is pronounced /rose -rows/. I feel very pedantic now! Thanks for letting me see my area from my sofa in Madrid is the important bit of my post.
@@christian1294 I know someone who's son was in Rosacre last year before moving to Armfield. She pronounced it as Ros-Acre
@@christian1294 I pronounced it in the same way as my friend, who's son went there. She always said it as Ros-Acre.

Blackpool appears to be addicted to car parks.

The pub on the corner of Burlington Rd was called The Winmarith at some stage and for a while was a casino.

@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool Was called the Winmarith during the 90s for certain.
The Winmarath, The Burlington, The Spen Dyke
