No it's not that rough down there for goodness sake, I've lived here for 2 years, and had no trouble at all ..... The police we hear are going into town centre not here . THERE ARE WORST AREAS IN BLACKPOOL AND THIS NOT ONE OF THEM

[@JohnHughes2002]

​@@sarahgirl50I think what you mean is that there are bad areas in Blackpool and yours is not one of them. Or simply that there are worse areas than yours.

Great vid. When I worked in Blackpool in ‘86 as an 18 year old I had digs in a flat in Sir Walter Robinson Court. On the 15th floor. Not the nicest of areas but I never felt threatened or had any bother. And the lifts always worked. 👍 Good character building stuff. 👍👍

[@bobbobby9798]

Before Blackpool was drained a lot the Kingscote area would have been under water. Hence why Kingscote park and land in front of flats used to flood. All the posh houses are on the higher bits of land 😎

Enjoyed this tour Stephen!

Another expertly narrated film. When you do these uni-directional tours I always wonder whether you have left your car at the beginning or end of it. I used to go to the first Turkish barber during lock down, nice place. Interesting contrast as you show. Very nice film which is made all the more interesting with your massive knowledge of so many subjects, sky, trees, building methods. Thank you Stephen.

Talking of prices, where something is something point nine - as there isn't a point one coin, or a point nine coin, therefore the price is rounded up to the full number, where do all the point ones go? Depending on turnover, that can equate to around a tenner a night - or more! - - As you passed the vandalised sport centre, a car turned left by the corner bargains shop, with headlights AND foglights on - never understood why they have fog lights on when it isn't foggy - all it achieves is to dazzle vehicles going the other way! - - - Looking towards Natalie's - in one of my books, I had a character named Night-time Natalie. I don't think an explanation is needed! - - -

[@martinwebb1681]

Yes once you crossed from the first half you could see the difference immediately, even from this end on my computer I could feel the change in atmosphere. Not a nice place to be after dark, especially late at night. The tower looked nice from there though all lit up, nice view of it from that street.
