SIR Stephen your night of Blackpool have a mystique of their own, well done...don't stop mate!

[@petermarcham8729]

Good evening Stephen. Good to see you moving around more easily. Thanks for your time to bring these interesting areas of the town to us.

[@DavidKidd-ft4xq]

Great video Stephen, I like these and all the history you tell us. Thank you.

[@wendyjones2351]

Hi Stephen thank you for another great video as always some of the side streets are very interesting have a great evening xx

[@ballykaur236]

Whenever we come to Blackpool we stay at a hotel on dean street and we love it there for last couple of years we have stayed at the same place and it feels like home

[@Peter-i1f]

Good evening Stephen, another excellent video from you. I could only make out the tram in the distance, but it look fab all illuminated.

[@GillianCarton-rd1wo]

Hi Stephen, we went to Blackpool every year in the 70s and my Mum and Dad went to the Duple Club for rare nights out while the landlady in our guest house babysat us. I remember Prehistorics in Bond Street with the Nessie in the window 😊😊

[@SimonM-63]

Very interesting, Stephen 👍

[@jeanwalker3752]

Another good video Stephen, it was nice to look around the streets of South Shore and you are right, it was unusually quiet! Thank you for showing us, take care of yourself and your poorly foot and see you next time.xxxx

[@YvonneMason-eb7lh]

Well, you certainly wouldn't starve in Blackpool, not with all those take aways! Just had a look at that estate agent you mentioned ... can't believe how cheap houses are in Blackpool!! Might move there😁 Thanks for my daily dose of you Stephen, I always hope you are going to post something.❤

[@garymason8978]

Another very interesting video Stephen..just watched it on my lunch break at work..we don't always realise how many buildings have changed over the years..very enjoyable as always. 👏😊

[@theabandonedhunter3604]

Cracking video sir!! The Royal Oak is certainly a grand building, hopefully it’s taken over soon 🤞 ….Smithy

[@janobyrne2424]

Thank you for your video of the South shore and your time Stephen. Blackpool has some really beautiful buildings and it's a shame they're left to rot. Lovely of you to mention there are some disability friendly hotels around it makes a big difference to people. Western train tram was a lovely sight.😊😊😊

[@cats2954]

Another great video thank you steven, steven can you do a video of the blackpool ripper henry bertram starr 1903 it would be very intersting to see where he used to hang around the streets of blackpool

Hi Stephen I really enjoy your night time vlogs, very atmospheric... I find it surprising that there are so many businesses surviving in this area of town! Until the next one, keep on vlogging

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks Peter.

Another good watch Stephen cheers mate get the ebike out mate

[@dianemckill5708]

One of these days you're not going to be so lucky,be careful. Station road is where we stay when we're there. When you go inside that spar, there's a lift shaft that I take it goes to the basement/old toilets space. Thanks for another great video

[@jonathanbowles2577]

Good Evening Stephen. Hope that your Foot is getting better and you are begining to Walk a lot more easier and becoming stronger each day. Really did Enjoy your video. Your Camera has a Superb Night Vision Resolution on it. When you were walking down the streets, it was like i was seeing your video in the Daytime. Picture Quality and the Sound was just Superb. Thank you very much Stephen. Jonathan/ Peterborough.

[@hazelmanship7516]

Good evening Stephen,great walk around the back streets, hope your foot feels better, thanks for this take care,stay safe bye for now 😊x

[@streetlife8461]

Hi Stephen, Your old opticians at 17.30 with the wood sheets on the window, reminded me of when i took my broken glasses at ten to six on a saturday night to my opticians and asked them if they could fix them ? They told me they were closing in ten minutes at six o'clock. So they boarded my glasses up for the weekend ! lol 😂 Good video sad to see the decay and the closed businesses and shops that are still trying to earn a living. Investors needed to turn empty shops and properties into much needed living accomodation and bring some life back to areas like that.

[@andywright3450]

Hi Stephen love this sort of content down back streets thanku

[@elizabethdonnelly6451]

Thanks for a great video x

[@efccb3669]

You have told me before Steven that you went to Knowle high school a year above me... and from what I can remember I think it was Mr Clapham took us on geography walks around Blackpool and he always said look up at the buildings.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

I remember doing a field trip where we documented historic buildings. My form teacher was Tony Green, the ex Blackpool footballer.

[@christinehodge3608]

Another good video, thank you for sharing this 😊,

[@stevensmith7460]

Evening Stephen, thanks for the walk, cheers

[@donlogan9158]

Thanks Stephen. Can you take a look around the North Shore, near the Fossil Tree where we stayed last week? Great for Bispham and the tableaus. Cheers.

[@Lee-o8f]

Tableaux are so good they should add some more

[@kevinmott6205]

Many thanks for the walk about Stephen. For obvious location reasons the South Shore doesn't receive the same attention. Great video and learned lots. 😊

[@stg85]

Did there used to be a bingo hall next to the Royal Oak? The bingo episode of That Peter Kay Thing was filmed in Blackpool and right at the start when Kay cycles to work you can see a pub which I think is the Royal Oak.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

That is correct. It was the Palladium, though I think I may have said Empire in the video.

[@rachellevis9909]

Thanks for the walk

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

@@rachellevis9909 No probs Rachelle.

[@julietevlin9333]

Woodheads Chippy is amazing

[@jasongray4517]

I wonder how busy those "swanky" hotels and bed and breakfasts are mid-week? I would imagine they can only make it pay by being paid cash in hand by guests. You should interview hotel and b&b owners about their working lives in Blackpool, the trials and tribulations, ups and downs. They must have some fascinating stories to tell.

[@neilgodwin6531]

Judging by my list of subscriptions, they are mostly kept open by KZbin creators booking in to do reviews. 😊

[@letstakeatriptopast]

I sit looking at a family photo taken in a club in Blackpool couldn't remember name thank you for saying name of the duple club can now write name on back photo 😊

[@rodneyrayner2338]

As interesting as always with new facts and characters!... you probably know this already but a guy I follow on KZbin who does Walking and Wild Camping has the same foot condition as you and he uses special insoles which he says work great!👍

Haha - Stop the press - Actually there were two trees on that street - one on the corner as you exited the street .There can't be many barbers left in Turkey - they are all in Blackpool .Good vid Mate !

Such a dark depressing video it could contend for a short film at the Berlin Film Festival highlighting man’s downfall…. but thanks for showing it..I left Blackpool in the good days in 1971..it has deteriorated so much now ..very sad

[@janetagbugblah8127]

Not what I am seeing!

[@janetagbugblah8127]

Maybe because Stephen was videoing at night!!

[@50SingingBadgers]

I was in Blackpool last night; parked the car in Station Road, wandered down to the mirror ball, got the tram up the tower and interacted with a beer monster. She was quite polite, to be fair. A very pleasant evening.

[@pooooornopigeon]

How much did she charge you ? 😂

[@50SingingBadgers]

@@pooooornopigeon 😅 It wasn’t Cookson Street! It was by the Walkabout. She asked if I had a lighter as the ones she had weren’t working. 🙂

Wished you’d go down osbourne rd Stephen, so close this time. Stayed there in 1980 happy memories. I know other Blackpool bloggers must have done it but no one does it like you. 😊

Hi Steven would it be possible to do a video of where Duple coach works used to be.

I believe it was on Vicarage Lane, near where Burton's Biscuits was. I remember the seeing the bodies of the vehicles all lined up outside.

Two things masonic lodge, two pillars one each side of door ! (Yip I'm a freemason) Planter fac. I've suffered from it and my sister is a podiatrist, what is required is an orthotic insoles with arch support any good podiatrist should be able to supply them. Or you may be able to get something on line also avoid shoes with no arch support - it's bloody sore especially first thing in morning .
