Cleveleys: The Prom,Victoria Rd and Duck Pond

[@jamesdougan6095]

Keep the videos coming my friend. The Blackpool tourism board should be paying you for bringing people to Blackpool after seeing your videos.

Hi Stephen thank you for another great video as always I love cleveleys i always visit when I come to Blackpool go for lunch in cleveleys kitchen very good food in there love cleveleys shops too take care xx

[@simonnorcliffe5877]

Stunning place, all along that coast is lovely 😊😊😊😊

[@waynecheshire7878]

It might be a lot smaller than Blackpool but there’s always plenty to see in cleveleys thanks again Stephen 👍

[@cadamdo1982]

Everyone local knows The Venue as The Royal. I think it was officially The Royal Hotel and it has a fascinating history during the war when it was a Polish hospital.

[@christinenightingale2528]

Cleveleys is my happy place. I used to go every year on holiday with my mum and dad. In the same holiday flat. There was an ice cream parlour called Tasty Freeze at the top of Victoria Road. Oh it was good. Now we take our grandson every couple of weeks to dig on the beach, have chips and go thru Blackpool on the way home. He loves it now, too. Making memories. I fed ducks at the duck pond every year and now we take the grandson.

[@INDENTUREDTRADER]

The Venue was called THE ROYAL many years, ago, I lived just further down behind the Durban Hotel on Green Drive. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks for the info!

[@junemckenzie3380]

Thank you Stephen, my friend and I always made a point of going to Cleveleys when we went to Blackpool, unfortunately, I lost my friend to COVID so this video is bittersweet. I do hope to go back to Blackpool at some point and will definitely go to Cleveleys again.

I used to live in Cleveleys. Do you remember Grundy's ironmongers? Used to work there.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

I don't remember much about Cleveleys because I grew upon in South Shore.

[@carbonsiliconnn]

Love Cleveleys High St. Every shop you could ever want on one short stroll. Excellent butchers, bakers, tea shops and chippies . Even got some great arcades

[@chrisclayton1027]

The new Yorker great ice-cream pop in there every time iam in cleveleys

[@JohnHughes2002]

You should check out Holmefield Avenue, Linden Close and The Hermitage near the duck pond - they're well posh!

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

I’m hoping to move there once I’m a KZbin millionaire.

[@1harryrobert]

Around 1970, my mum & dad used to take me on Kiddies Corner just near the shelter on the roundabout. I loved the helter skelter & the vintage cars. I'm sure there used to be a BOC where Poundland now stands. My dad was always browsing in there

[@kevstraw1812]

I love Cleveleys! Always like an hour out at the shops and cafes. I'm surprised you didn't mention your photography work featured in a couple of the cafes down there! I've never been down the other end of Cleveleys, so it was interesting for me to see that area, I might try and pop down when I get a free afternoon! Thanks for this interesting video Stephen. Really enjoyed it!

The paddle belongs to the Ogre who uses it to stir up the sea to produce storms. Mary blows the shell to quiet the Ogre. If you continue up the coast past the school there is a wall with the story engraved on it.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks Graeme.

[@mikefarrar8071]

That brought some memories flooding back Steven. I used to live there 68 years ago and my grandparents lived on West Drive and used to walk to the duck pond with bread. From memory there used to be swans on it as well and as a small child was terrified as they hissed at you. The cycle shop and car sales place used to be Thomas Motors. On the other side further west used to be Bebington's Shop which had excellent toy department where my pocket money was spent on Dinky toys. Opposite NatWest over the tram tracks was the Odeon cinema 3d for children's matinee Saturday afternoon's. The Regal Hotel was a family treat for meal I used to think it was great, doesn't look it now!! Keep up the good work Steven.

Great vid yet again. Love Cleveleys. Next time you're up there call in for Fish and Chips at Kays chippy, t'other side of bus station to B&M. Sit in or take away, delicious. Must look out for the duck pond, never knew it existed!

[@diddleysquat6644]

We had Kay’s chippy couple of weeks back after a walk with our dog, top notch😋

[@davidnm21]

When I last visited Blackpool in 2000, I remember doing the trams up to Fleetwood but for the life of me can I remember going through Cleveleys. Perhaps I was enjoying the scenery so much I just couldn’t remember it. Love your style of filming and editing Stephen especially like at 09:34 where the little old lady with the walker goes backwards then forwards then backwards again, hilarious! Certainly a very informative and interesting video vlog on Cleveleys nice👍

[@JohnHughes2002]

You don't see much of Cleveleys on the tram, LOL.

Step back in time is Cleveleys it seems to me Stephen! Very lucky for the folks living there 👏 They've still got their banks and post offices! Whereas everywhere they're closing them down...as well as numerous pubs etc....Oh the good ol days... Awesome vid as per usual mate!

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks Gary.

[@JohnHughes2002]

Don't worry Gary, they're closing down the banks alright, and there aren't that many traditional pubs in Cleveleys.

The first time I went into a B&M bargains store was the one in cleveleys

[@pete9958]

Hi Stephen - The original B&M store was a small building on the far side of the car park you showed beyond Cleveley bus station, it was that small and busy that you had to queue outside and wait to be allowed in. The second store opened in Highfield road which now has since closed, they now have stores across the country, come a long way since the 80s. Great filming and so nostalgic thank you -

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks for the info Pete!

[@cadamdo1982]

I remember the original B&M too. It was down where the garages were at the back of the British Legion. The old site is still a dedicated B&M car park I think.

[@williamjohnson4111]

I am coming to Blackpool this weekend.I will have to have a look at your photos on the wall in cleveleys kitchen.I have never been into the kitchen at cleveleys but have been to bispham kitchen a few times

The big oar on the front was actually from the Titanic. It was to be used in case of engine failure. Obviously they weren't stupid it was a big ship. They had 2 oars.

[@uk-martin4905]

B&M started in a couple of sheds the other side of the bus station, beyond the 7 bus. I remember visiting it very briefly in 1986. The absence of any trees and greenery makes the town look very unappealing. Photographs taken in the 1960s show a large roundabout at the Victoria Rd West junction with colourful flowerbeds and grass, providing welcome relief from all the concrete. Of course, growing car ownership meant there was no place for grass and flowers; the roundabout was removed and resulted in the unattractive unrelieved tarmac and concrete we see today.

[@kevanhubbard9673]

If you compare Blackpool Tower with the Effiel Tower.You can see the Effiel Tower is built in 3 sections; the legs support,then a middle supporting structure and the Blackpool Tower is like the third top bit of the Effiel Tower.
