Can't beat a good driving video. Fantastic view of the tower from central drive😊

[@Urbanplann]

Great late night rides. Something atmospheric and calming about them. Please do more of these!!

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Will do!

[@Misselthwaitefullcircle]

Blackpool is a great place to go and visit. It always hold a special place in the heart❤ for it being home.

[@maxpom68]

Our town is a ghost town at night so it's nice to see some nightlife.

[@shm1270]

The drive through Blackpool promenade is one of my favourites! Cannot believe its not long until the illuminations are on again! 💃🏼☀️

[@jammyjolly1401]

Illuminations make it 100x better.

[@gregoryuk]

Live this. Makes me feel like going back! Kicking off - standard.

[@sidboraus6151]

Good to see families out and about enjoying a balmy Friday night.

[@robertjarrett9562]

Another great video Stephen i hope Blackpool council are going to give you the freedom of the city because your videos do so much for tourism in Blackpool 👍👌

[@westyham1]

Thanks for the great video, it's certainly changed since I lived there, back in the 70s, I now live in the USA, thanks Steve, I've been watching your videos for quite some time now and show my friends here all about Blackpool and a couple have visited, thanks buddy 👍🇬🇧🇺🇸

[@GennaMillar]

I remember the windmill...used to see that from the motorway on the way in!

[@wendyjones2351]

Hi Stephen thank you for another great video as always love a night time drive quite busy blackpool never really sleeps have a great evening xx

[@AndyL1707]

Been told sometime next year for the trams. Problem with insulation in the hotel means the site cannot be handed over, hope that helps.

[@froggiewrench1]

What a great, buzzing town with its lights and nightlife. Makes me always want to go back. Well done for another compelling video tour.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@user-pw3tr1xg2x]

Enjoyed the video Stephen. Nice to see the Heritage Trams running.

[@gavinhodgkins6643]

Great video Stephen, thank you. Different aspects of town, bit rough down towards Central Drive but great to see Blackpool busy on a Friday night.

[@williamdonly7966]

Fantastic Friday summer night drive around Blackpool promanade. Thankyou for that enjoyed it so much.

[@brianmillar6265]

Another brilliant video thanks Stephen keep them coming, would be great to meet you someday.

[@janobyrne2424]

Thanks again for another informative video Stephen, so what if you can't be bothered to walk, you've done more than you fair share bringing videos to us.😊😊😊

[@mildredschulz]

Hi Stephen. Thank you very much for sharing your drive around Blackpool. You walk around enough. You need to have a break. Your video’s are very interesting. I remember the windmill that used to be there. See you in your next video. ❤❤❤

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks Mildred 👍

[@joymaxfield7589]

Thank you as always great job well done 👍

[@markfleming636]

Always love going to Blackpool, all the places you're showing tonight had some great drinking sessions in the town centre , always trying and stay on Charnley Road 👍

[@roseannburke-lj5qt]

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks for the visit

[@mickd6942]

Glad it was a drive through and not a drive by lol

[@masere]

Great video as usual. I'll be going next month for the airshow. Staying on St Chad's road. I'll be in Shenanigans on the Saturday night!

[@paulinefraser4097]

Loved the drive around Stephen brought us back being there a month ago and miss it already 😢 we pretty well were in most of the areas that you showed including going up to the top of Blackpool Tower it was fabulous so now busy planning the the next visit 👍😁 Thanks and take care Pauline from Blackpool living in Canada 🍁

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks Pauline.

[@Richard-gk3kq]

At least it's been warm.

[@sheilakearney4635]

[@barneymcgoo123]

Love what you do fella, but it won't be long before it ends up the same as Rhyl with housing on the funfair and coach park areas.

[@martinnorth2680]

Excellent video as always

[@craigbrogden1734]

It's always banging in the counting house great pub

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Not been in for ages, but it was a favourite haunt in the 90's.

[@philipwoodacre1644]

[@englishguineasjb]

Yes booming loud music in the layton Rakes wetherspoons, i saw you in there Thursday night Stephen, drinking your Ruddles i think it was 🍺 😅. Central drive, now known as 'Romanian central'

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Cheap night in Spoons on the Ruddles lol

[@dianeshepherd7913]

Thanks for the drivethrough, are you covering bispham gala or fleetwood tram sunday ?

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Yes I think so!

[@cathymartinmcgoey3855]

Thank you

[@mkdoddart]

Good one. 👍 You're historically recording how Blackpool looks like in 2023. Be interesting to see how much Blackpools changed in future years from this and your other videos.

[@matthewbird8624]

The station used to be called malloys then they changed it to station. They changed it a few months ago

[@pjltopfca]

Another excellent video showing my favourite town. Only problem for me was that you were driving a bit fast and it made me feel a little “seasick”. I had to stop it a couple of times. Brilliant tour though. I come for a week about every 3 months and never get bored of the place.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

It looks like I'm speeding at times, but always under the speed limit.

[@yvesmontaigne2252]

Thanks for the vid. Just to point out that you said the Rose and Crown "holds" the rebellion festival. It doesn't. The Winter Gardens hosts rebellion every year. The Tache has pre and post rebellion gigs and the Rose is busy as it tends to be a meeting place. Rebellion uses 6 stages with 300 bands on in the WG over four days.

[@ginagina9720]

My favourite bar ma Kelly’s!

[@nigmorris1]

Lights test Monday to Thursday usually turned off before dark. If they put them on Friday, Saturday and Sunday when the town is full of tourists there would be no point in an Illuminations season.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Fair point

[@danielcaton2919]

Yea central drive never used to be so bad wonder what it could be ?

[@Suze2013]

We have had thunderstorms here now they have gone and we have rain

[@jackbrenny9576]

A fascinating video Stephen, your wealth of knowledge of Blackpool and it's origins is marvellous. Thank you for this informative video and best wishes🙏🚎

Hello Stephen, loved this video, would there be any chance you could do a video in towyn if your ever in Wales 😊😊

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Not really, unless you keep reminding me.

[@teddy20111000]

When will the trams be going upto Holiday Inn. From what info I've found out not until Easter 2024 now... Well behind what was planned.

[@fishypie]

are hotels that are up and running haveing a good summer now that so may other places are going

[@edwardharrington678]

Very good but it does notseem to be as busy as when my wife and I have been on holiday there?

[@martinandrews7387]

When the trams eventually go up to the station,i wonder if every tram from Fleetwood/Star Gate will go up ,or will it be just alternate trams that will go up.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

I’d guess alternate, but what do I know 🤷‍♂️

[@martinandrews7387]

@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool I would say you are a very knowledgeable man Steven.Always find your blogs informative and interesting.

[@Speaker568]

Why don’t you do a video on Charlotte downes and the area and people around it as it’s now been reopened the case so interesting.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

I've thought about it, but have avoided the subject but for a few mentions in videos. I plan to do some historic Blackpool crimes as I go.

[@Speaker568]

@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool I think it’s something that needs to be done it would also take your channel to a new level Blackpool gazette maybe even main stream news papers it’s reopened any way and done by you the right way would be fascinating before someone else gets a crack at it also I believe it is something that need’s highlighting for the sake of Blackpool and justice give it a go best regard’s.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

@@Speaker568 I’ve seen one of the alleged suspects a few times, Mohammad Raveshi. I believe he still owns the takeaway that was involved, but it has a different name.

[@Britsishmum7695]

They started those stupid trams up Talbot road when my son first started at Blackpool sixth form , he’s done 2 years there and 3 years at Lancaster Uni and they still haven’t got them working…..ridiculous waste of time and money. Clifton , Bickerstaff and Fisher families seem to have had a lot of land interest in the past . Hope you’ve got your doors locked up Central Drive…..wasted in their pyjamas !!! The whole lot needs bulldozing, when I was a kid it was quite posh on Central drive going into town on the bus with my Mum. I never understood why the courts were not re located with the police station ? They could have built them within the building or at the back 🤷‍♀️
