When l stayed in St. Annes l used to drive around the areas included Lytham.A nice video showed many lovely old buildings. A quiet little town. I enjoyed my stay at fylde coast.
Rossall Road doesn't go directly to Blackpool Road; it joins Ansdell Road North, and that road leads past Ansdell Baptist Church to join Blackpool Road.
That brought back some memories! One of my uncles is buried at that church you show at the end of the video. Also a friend from school used to live on the road you crossed at the same time. Does anyone remember Rossals Removals and Chris Rossal?
What a fascinating little documentary! No wonder you were so cold at the group brew! I really hope to get there one day to enjoy the difference in architecture between Ansdell and the towns each side of it. If it is a rainy day a picnic in the tram shelter would be fun! Did you note whether there were any bookshops in Ansdell? That would put the icing on the cake as it were! I have to say that I would like to see what the growing primary village of Ansdell looked like, maybe there are ancient maps of it but I cannot use the Lancashire Archives at the moment of course - there is a large collection of maps there and membership is easy to attain. How different the red of the brickwork looks compared to the soot-affected brickwork of residences along the cotton valleys towards the Pennines. The vernacular buildings shown here look as if they could have been built just ten years ago. People visiting before the Clean Air Act must have seen this as paradise. Houses on the coast use so much glazing and I wonder whether the huge glassworks on the outskirts of Liverpool had their heyday when so much was built in the population growth incurred by the second industrial revolution on the coast and all the houses thrown up in the cotton towns. These VFC tours on film offer so much to think about I occasionally spend half the day researching this aspect and that. Sponsorship needed from local univerities in exchange for the rich diet for local historians and those with larger remits!
Good Afternoon Eryk...because I'm just watching Jane right now...I sincerely hope that you,your friends and family have a better year than the one that we have just said goodbye to!! X🤗
There's an excellent bookshop and cafe at Fleetwood called Chapter Two. It's run by a couple and I have spoken at length to the husband, who is the chef and originally from the Midlands.
@@kristinejames9812 Thank you very much indeed Kristine. May I take this opportunity to reciprocate and wish that you and all you hold dear have a healthy, positive and hopeful New Year. I am only too happy to see a new year with new possibilities. I am having a day of deep rest in my Hobbit Hole as I have spent many hours listening to the American version of the BBC broadcasting the climactic events that have incuded reassuring outcomes and also calumny and tragedy thanks to the casuistry of those who should know better. I have dear friends in the United States ancient of days like myself and more so, who have now said goodbye to four horrific years and look to a brighter future. We are luckier here than we shall ever know Kristine. I know people all over the world who would rather have had our 2020! Different perspectives broaden the mind as well as travel - which we cannot now do of course. We are so lucky to have the positivity and delight that Jane and her colleagues give us, shining lights in a darker than usual winter! I hope you are aware of "Brew at Two" at 2pm every Tuesday where Jane offers a live get-together. Take care and Best Wishes Kristine x 🙂
@@JohnHughes2002 Very many thanks for this John, I shall certainly try to find that. I do hope Chapter three is not closing and going 'online' as has happened to so many of bookshops that I have enjoyed visiting. My books have long ago exceeded my many bookcases and my sons tell me that I must observe a "One book in / One book out" regime. I tell them I have put last year's telephone books in the recycling but that is not holding back the tide. They fear that I shall discover the books section of "Amazon" but that ship sailed long ago - what they do not know shall not hurt them! :) Thanks again John, much appreciated! PS I too am originally from the Midlands and later from the 'South'!
I nearly fell asleep by the first corner. As a local I wasn’t impressed with all that was missed out. Particularly the info on Richard Ansdell, the history of the Ansdell Institute and much more. Sorry it wasn’t done by a local and hopefully when I get time, as a local, I’ll do my own showing Ansdell as a much more bustling village with all the detail that could invite people to see it in a much more interesting light.

Glad to share the place today with you
I spent a lot of my younger years in ansdell and grannies bay, went to the small school there
Thanks for the video
Nice video,I went to school in Ansdell in the sixtys.
Shame the trams don't go as far now. Thanks for showing us all the areas around Blackpool.
Rossall Road doesn't go directly to Blackpool Road; it joins Ansdell Road North, and that road leads past Ansdell Baptist Church to join Blackpool Road.
Great views of this area never been here hopefully this year I hope

Back again - Blackpool Road's continuation, Church Road, passes Lowther Gardens, not Ashton Gardens..
You’ll have to sack me
Weird glitch in the matrix at the beginning there with that guy and his dog.....how are they so still? Looks very odd

I shall have to investigate that.

Goodness, that's me told. In my defence, I do have to continue making content in winter - I can't cover everything on the best of the sunny busy days.
