Saturday in Blackpool after Storm Éowyn

[@martinwebb1681]

Thanks, Stephen. The sea sounded lovely and calming. It's like a miniature story time listening to your videos, they're simply marvellous.

[@JenniferMcKeown-b1o]

Thanks for the update Stephen,very rough here in Belfast,N.ireland. I watched your video of your stay in the Glendower Hotel recently and discovered you were born in St. Anne's. Always enjoy your content. Loving the bobble hat 👌😊

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks for watching Jennifer.

[@eddyhammerton3310]

i walked passed it yesterday and two blokes were taking down part of the glass canopy in front of the council building which was damaged

[@iaaaaaaaaaan]

Great video thanks! 😊

[@anncapell3982]

Another great video. Yes, I'd love to be there, but I will be content to have you walk /drive/pedal me around.

[@carolmurray5569]

Thanks for another great video Stephen. Yes i wish i was in Blackpool and walk along the beach and seafront listening to the sound of the sea, perfect👍👍

[@trudyeddolls9936]

Hi - I am living in Brisbane, Australia now but my Uncle and Aunt used to live at 29 Haddon Road, Blackpool (Bispham) and I can remember wonderful holidays with them in Blackpool - they were also the owners of Crescent Cafe, Cleveleys - they were bakers and confectioners. I dont know whether you have been up Haddon Road, but I would really appreciate it if you can. Thank you very much.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

@@trudyeddolls9936 I’ll see if I can have a look up Bispham soon.

[@trudyeddolls9936]

@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool Oh thank you very much

[@janobyrne2424]

Thanks for bringing Blackpool to us Stephen some of us can't get there for one reason or another. Agree that the old Wetherspoons building was lovely, why did they knock it down. Stay warm and safe.😊😊😊

[@paulpayton8238]

Yeah I lived in Northern Ireland on a hill farm in the mountains of mourn we used to get really strong winds and bad weather thanks for sharing Stephen 👍

[@roytabberer7427]

Thanks for the follow up video of the Storm Eowyn I have just worked something out. S.C. doesn't only stand for your name of Stephen Cheatley, it could stand for Storm Chaser. lol. All the best Stephen and glad of your love for Blackpool.

[@juliewright-v3v]

[@Gail-30]

Love listening to ya you have a soothing voice x x x thanks Stephen 🥰✨️🙏🤗✨️

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

You are so welcome

[@Bengaltiger1289]

@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool The storm quickly veered north after crossing Ireland we just got the outer bands but still some damaging gusts. Glad we didn't get a direct hit. Thank you for the coverage as always, Stephen 👍

[@mildredschulz]

Hi Stephen. thank you for the update on the storm. looks like it was a lovely day in Blackpool today, it was cloudy here and its been raining tonight. was 12c today. will be about 9c tomorrow. I hope you have a great Sunday. take care and all the best Mildred. xxx

[@JohnSwindells-zm4sq]

Thanks Stephen for a really nice mooch around Blackpool on a very nice day 😊

[@Anekiii]

Winds to return on Sunday - not sure how that works, but it won't stop the idiots.

[@PJL27-02]

Those two signs you mentioned yesterday, they ended up becoming dislodged, flying over the Irish Sea 🌊, I found them today on the beach outside ❤Belfast 😂😂👍🏻🚳🛂

[@clpar-k2x]

I wonder if the Caledonian Travel was down for a Burns Night weekend. Looks so different from the storm footage.

[@racheljohnson9687]

Mine & my neighbours' fences took a battering. A lady around the corner lost a wall from her garden, but overall, not too bad. You can't beat the sound of the sea ❤

[@mikefisher9895]

Great video Stephen and some wonderful footage too 👍 I've just been looking at old photos of Blackpool Central Station wow it was big didn't realise that the platforms are still there just tarmac where the tracks used to be.

[@MaryMartin-k9h]

Great video glad there wasn’t much damage thank you Stephen ❤

[@doomybear7389]

The missing bricks, I watched a live stream from the Netherlands and they took up a bricked pavement did the work and put the bricks back down and you wouldn't even know they've dug a hole, Over here you'll get a dip in the pavement for puddles as they'll just thrown it back together, the missing bricks on the prom have probably been taken back to the yard for ""Safe Keeping"" patio building season soon spring is on it's way.

[@DrDandan]

I saw Flash Gordon there too.

[@garethvaughan426]

Good to see the sunshine in Blackers Stephen, you could tell the wind had dropped from the lack of 'bobble wobble' from your hat 😊

[@KayeDavidson-oo4eg]

Another great vlog Stephen Looked lovely in Blackpool today

[@juliepownall1063]

Hi stephen thanks for the vlog 😊

[@malcolmcharlton6954]

Did you see storm chaser nodrog's vlog from my home town Workington. He was there on Friday down on a car park right next to the sea It was absolutely howling. Most of the shops in town closed early as there was no one about everyone stayed at home.

[@jeansatterthwaite8613]

Another good video thank you 👍

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks Jean.

[@earlthebossdude3161]

Stephen your class is always half full brilliant cheers 🧐👍

[@shaunarmstrong611]

Frank In Blackpool's recent drone video of the Starlings murmuration is stunning. Have a watch of it..

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

I was with him when he filmed it!

[@stevensmith7460]

Evening Stephen, yes, not as bad as predicted, not as much being made of the one hitting tomorrow, probably be worse. Great walkabout and update, cheers mate.

[@paulinefraser4097]

Great video Stephen and love the sound of the sea 🌊 yes would love to be in Blackpool ❤Thanks again and until next time Pauline from Blackpool living in Canada 🍁

[@Peter-i1f]

Good to see the calm after the storm Stephen, lovely blue skies and the beach and sea looked fab. There is talk of another storm coming on Monday, but I’m not sure if it’s affecting the North West region.

[@heatherjoy479]

Yjamkyou for your videos I can't come to blackpool to fare thanks I love the sea

[@ElToro2000UK]

Did you know, the Subway restaurant (Next to Mickey Finns) was the shop that was in The Cook Report in the 1990's, featuring those dodgy characters selling bags of stuff (Bags of Trouble/Black Bag Sales & Mock Auctions episode. You can see it on here!)

[@ElToro2000UK]

Apparently, one of the men in the video still lives in Blackpool. Wouldn't it be great if you could interview him one day in one of your videos?!

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Yes, I watched the video a few weeks ago on KZbin. I even went to one of the sales once.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

I don't think I'd want to talk to a conman.

[@Britsishmum7695]

I love sitting in the garden when it’s gone quiet and I can hear the sea in the background x

[@kennethmoore7651]

Security seagulls in Blackpool Stephen 🤣

[@davidprescott7463]

Another interesting video about Blackpool. Thank you. As a bit of a railway nerd, I did spot a bit of an error regarding Blackpool Central Station though - it was not closed due to the recommendation of controversial British Railways chairman Dr Richard Beeching - in fact he proposed retaining Blackpool Central as Blackpool’s main railway station and closing Blackpool North instead ! It was actually Blackpool Council (or Blackpool Corporation as it was then) that wanted to close central station and redevelop the station site and its extensive sidings and approach tracks for other purposes. They lobbied the government and British Railways hard and were successful in getting Blackpool Central Station closed down, with the smaller and much less convenient Blackpool North retained as the town’s main station. I wonder whether things would have been better for Blackpool if Beeching had prevailed, and Central Station was still Blackpool’s main station today? Academic now, but an interesting thing to think about.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks for the info. I'm sure it would have been a better station, and Blackpool North would have been much more valuable land to develop.

[@kerryhowarth9]

Enjoyed watching this video, thanks Stephen 😀

[@gregnorman1210]

Hi mate just checking in to see how you’re doing hope you’re ok

[@alancook196742]

Thanks Stephen get video

[@bobmcdermott9535]

The wind was quite strong, too strong to lean into the wind, as you do on the prom.

[@DavidKidd-ft4xq]

Another great video thank you Stephen.

[@Terry.W]

Another storm due on Sunday..

[@markstevens9402]

Hi Stephen, I've never been to Blackpool before and enjoy your Blackpool content. Whenever I see the Blackpool Tower and ballroom, I can't figure out the logistics of it! I mean is the Blackpool Tower built on top of the balloon roof or is the balloon built around the base of the Blackpool tower? It's one strong roof if the tower is perched on top of the balloon roof😂

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks for watching. The Tower Ballroom runs down the left hand side of the Tower Building, lengthways from the prom to Bank Hey Street. It is to one side of the structure, whilst the Tower Circus is directly underneath.

[@carolinerogers1057]

Looks lovely up there today

[@DavidPearcey-ex2wh]

Hi Steve can you find out how is Colin seaside is from David and Jim in London

[@davidandrews8963]

Hey there Stephen David from Cromer here It's Monday 27th January and about 2 hours ago we had the mother of all hail fall lasted for just under 10 minutes couple of thunder rumbles too It was so heavy it's now coming up for 4 o clock and it's settled like snow Awesome weather The sky went a very dark grey Now it's blue sky sunshine like nothing happened Glad you guys didn't suffer any major damage Just got a bit windy here but being where we are it's usually breezy on the calmest of days Cheers for the film I have learnt so much about Blackpool in the last 4 years it's really interesting for me I'm always on Google checking stuff out You know if this tech had been around when I took my exams in 1984 I'd be a don at Cambridge university now It's no wonder the pass rates are so high If they had to use books and a good memory today The pass rate would be very low Me personally I miss the old life but the tech is brilliant if in the right hands and used for the right reasons Have a good one stay safe ❤️😎🏐🥅⚽🤯

[@jasongray4517]

Top work, Stephen. No nighttime video around the fleshpots of Blackpool?

[@frankinblackpool]

You are an editing Jedi. You filmed this, whizzed home, edited, rendered the project, uploaded it to KZbin and then came back out again to watch the Starlings this evening. That is some turnaround. 😄

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

I must have learned well!

[@rachellevis9909]

Great video ❤

[@marymand4859]

[@dianemckill5708]

It was in the news that the DWP and job centre roof came off. We've had snow for a bit this morning,it didn't land though. Hope everyone was safe. That view of the sun behind the clouds in bonny street was amazing.
