born in blackpool 1955 remeber everything lol

@2:54 - Methinks that pic , might have been slightly staged .. When was the last time you saw that many checkouts open in a supermarket at the same time ? It didn't even look busy !

there is a guy in this video who looks like a fatter version of albert tatlock from coronation street

Knott end ferry

Clifton Street, Lytham, was captioned "St Annes".

Such a shame to see most Seaside Resorts in UK fall in to Despair

Precious memories of a bygone time 😊😊

Now it's a shithole

Is so nice to see it

Thank you❤

❤❤

wow .. that's great .... Thankyou for your support BPP keep up the good work

Absolutely loved Blackpool, many happy holidays when I was young, remember buying a skirt for my last year at school 1983 from Goldbergs in Hounds Hill , loved that shop, so exciting when you were a teenager, there was also another shop in there selling make up , perfume etc loved that too, and Lewis's , 😊😊

Such a pity, after including some great photos from Blackpool in the 1970s, that most of the photographs of buses and trams are from the 1980s and early 1990s.... Bolton 66 tram did not arrive in Blackpool until the 1980s...... the revised green and cream livery on the double deck open platform buses and single deckers did not appear until the 1980s and the HandyBus in Poulton-le-Fylde was not delivered until 1988. The double decker bus on the title page was not repainted into the green roof and stripe livery until the 1980s either. Other than the public transport, this is a superb video.

Happy memories of Blackpool back in the late 70’s early 80’s. Last time I went with my mum and dad would have been 84 and went to the tower circus. I was a stroppy teenager and the ringmaster told me to clap my hands and I told him to f*ck off. Let’s just say my dad wasn’t impressed and I struggled to sit down for an hour or two. 😅

Holidays in Blackpool in the 70s with parents and grandparents were brilliant. Go back now and then to see my grown up niece who has moved there. What has happened !!!!! The one time great holiday centre has lost is character and has nose dived down hill. Such a shame.

I remember Sarah's cafe upstairs in the houndshill

Blimey - imagine being so poor you and to go there for your holidays. What a miserable, damp dump

Lived and worked in Blackpool in the late 80's - went on a weekend jolly up with the lads , i ended up being offered a job and stayed 😂 i always remember how friendly the locals were , great decade and great times ! ❤👍

Certainly looks worth a visit!! ☺️Kx

Looks like all shopping centres today - dead

Very evocative. We used to go to that Egg & Bacon cafe at 0.55 when were were on a caravan holiday in Blackpool in 1968. The staff were very pleasant and the food was nice, but they later got done for poor hygiene! Oh dear!

Great holidays in the late 80s and early 90s, loved The Bier Kellar and The Manchester plus all the wonderful shows

I know I'm supposed to be supporting Blackpool's changes, but I'm not !!!! The 'changes' that have been made, have only been beneficial to the greedy developers, that have 'milked' the town for all it's worth. I love "BLACKPOOL" and its people. I hate these 'money-grabbing' self centred pigs that see 'profit' as a central goal, rather than the delightful area for all to enjoy.

This is magical , it won’t be anytime soon ,nor in many viewers who appreciate this’s lifetime ,but I hope my old Hometown never forgets this is *Blackpool*

Grew up in Blackpool through the 70’s, live on the south coast now, I go back to visit family, Blackpool town centre is a shadow of its former self, so many shops gone from there that I remember, all the independent businesses, now it seems to be cafes and national chain stores, nothing of interest

SHIT HOLE NOW...FULL OF FUZZY WUZZIES😂

The Mecca was brilliant

Does anyone remember the action man display in Woolworths window in the 70s. Absolutely awesome.👍

Nice nostalgia trip there. Makes me happy and sad at the same time. Happy memories of family holidays in Blackpool in the 1980's and sad that my Mum and Dad are no longer here. Was there recently and it's a pale imitation of the place it once was . Hopefully it can have a renaissance because it would be great to see it back to something like it's former glory.

Val Doonican on at the Opera House ? - Christ, they were getting a bit desperate there !

Spolit by only having the picture up for about 5 seconds!

And not a car park in sight

All the UK towns now are dives,worse than Ukraine that's in a war

Blackpool was more fun then than now, fond memories of the tower, swimming in the Derby baths, playing slot machines, eating candy floss, the Golden Mile, tramride to the old school Pleasure Beach to enjoy the Fun House in obligatory stockingfeet and went on all the other rides.

I did my work experience at the Grand Theatre, in Blackpool...must've been about 1983. I met Keith Harris and Bobby Crush, when I was allowed backstage, during their show.

I spent many hours in the Fun House and remember the fire 😢 The rides and slides in there, would never be allowed now, due to the overbearing health and safety regulations.

30p a session, for a deckchair...it's about £2.50 now.

Great compilation...brought back lots of childhood memories 😁 Just a teeny point, though...the last couple of shots are from Lytham, not St Annes.

Much better time then!

Cannot believe there is a photo showing Escott Estates, an Estate Agency on Church Street that was taken when I worked there on my first Youth Opportunities Scheme. That is amazing!!

Stayed up north near the gynn as a lad wth y parents in late 70s and up to 86.😅

0:07 Biscopham. It was a wonderful shop. It’s still a post office now

The year I was born ❤😸

I was a student then in the 70s and have a great and sweet memories in Blackpool..so much different now and then..

Does anyone remember the 2/11 store, I think it was on the corner of the prom and Waterloo road. Everything in the shop was under 3 shillings (15p). Was back in the 60s so a long time ago. Used to love going in there.

No Bateson’s model shop!

Divine feelings looking back on better times when there was hope for the human race. Excellent selection of accompanying music incorporating organ and piano which is both of the era and timeless.

We went to Blackpool every year in the 70's for our summer holidays, And we always stayed at Mrs Norths B&B South shore. Great time's Great memories 70's & 80's. ♥️🗼🇬🇧

Bond Street in the south of the town was a great little shopping area back then, Today it's mostly boarded up shops and gone very down hill. I still ♥️ Blackpool though.
