Is this the End for Blackpool?

[@stevewebb7126]

I lived in Blackpool all my life until the last 7 years when I left the UK .Most locals in blackpool like it when Holiday makers went at the end of the season , prices went down and less fighting and violence in the town centre .

I love it early in the morning, before most visitors come out of the hotels.

I was born in Blackpool. Live in Preston, so close as you know to visit all year round. From the crazy amount of people in Summer through till New year there is always something to do. Its always been one of my favourite nostalgic places. Plus the beaches are a heck of a lot cleaner now from when I was a child. 🙂

Even as a schoolkid at the old Blackpool Grammar near Poulton Blackpool was worth seeing. After decades away I visited as a retiree this year and it is so sad to see it. Dishevelled and unloved.

Blackpool can be as quiet and deserted as Barrow in Furness on a rainy day in the week during November and December. I used to love Blackpool years ago in the 1980s when there there were shows taking place after the illuminations had finished, and remember just before Christmas in 1985 enjoying a special Friday night at the Fun House in stockingfeet from 9pm to 9am when the Pleasure Beach was not normally open.

There's something about a seaside town off-season. I live in Southport and really enjoy walking about when there's hardly anyone about.

My uncle used to have a workshop based underneath the old sewage treatment plant based opp Manchester square-and ran his pleasure boat rides from south pier during the 70’s. My dad and grandad worked with him and I spent my summers on the beach alongside them. I loved visiting my uncle in his workshop u were able to see and hear the sea in the sewage pipes. It was an ethereal sound, quite spooky tbh😱.

Went to Great Yarmouth last week for a walk around and to do some photography. Only the amusement arcades were open on the seafront. The piers were closed and a lot of putting things away for the end of the year. At least a bit more open in Blackpool.

[@basylpeterjones]

A lot of things are open on the seafront in Great Yarmouth in the winter - not just the amusements. You're talking rubbish: I stayed there this time last year. One of the piers was open along with the model village and the cafe there. All the other seafront cafes and tearooms were also open. Some attractions were closed but Pirate Cove golf stays open.

@@basylpeterjones Last week there was one tea room open, the model village was closed, the other large tea room was closed and even the bin in one area were all collected together.

Used to go to Blackpool every year in my youth because I had relatives close by. It was great in the 70' and 80's when your a kid. From then on it was sporadic visits in the 90's, noughties and beyond. Now when I go back its cold and bracing, quite expensive as well and run down. Some people still dig Blackpool, me less so. Its a shame because there is so much potential but financial investment and decent jobs are lacking. But you can't single out one seaside resort because there are so many dotted around the UK in a poor state from Withernsea to Clacton.

Good to see you on Monday, just for your info, Odyssey will now go live on Monday 14th, see you on Friday when I'm presenting the projections and take you behind the scenes.

Hi Stephen, Just stumbled on your great Blackpool review. I will subscribe to your channel, as I quite like a walk on the wild side, too 😂👍 I had heard that from this year, the famous illumination period was being extended until the New Year, instead of ending in early November, as it has done previously. Should bring lots of extra tourism in the quieter run-up to Xmas. When I next visit, I might stay in the brand new Boulevard Hotel, which I believe is really fabulous. Keep up the good work 😎👍

Thanks Mark. The Boulevard Hotel is good enough for heads of state, so it must be classy.
