    New Sub Here Bro. My Grandad was from the South Shore area, But left just before WW1But sadly
    He was a regular solider, He meet my Grandma, while on duty outside Buckingham Palace.
    He put in three years in France, Lots of medals for this good man;
    I would love too have met this man, But he died in 1936......shame my dad was two years old.
    I live in Cumbria now so not so far too follow up my Grandads past.

Wow how Bond street has changed since I was last down there about 15yrs ago. The lucky star amusement arcade was where witherspoons is now if I remember right? Also never seen those toilets on the old park and we were up that end of the promenade last August. Thanks really enjoyed it 👍

    I lived in Blackpool until the mid 1960's but frequently visited relatives but have been there very little since the late 1980's. I remember back in the early 1960's Yates's Wine Lodge was situated in Talbot Square North Shore. It was a real spit and sawdust place, no seating and no beer. Everything came out of large fancy looking wine casks. Where you could buy numerous wines and champagne by the half pint glass. Never went in and only looked through the doors as I was never a drinker. I presume the quick look of the building it as since moved more up market.

    I wonder how many houses are now flats. I have lived in two flats in Blackpool and both where part of a big house. I noticed on one of your video's that one house I lived in had added another floor on top. Blackpool must be more populated than you'd expect.
    From the flat next door a young lass in suspenders managed to tempt me out to Yates wine Lodge one night, what a good night that was. Was that flat on Commercial road I wonder. A alcoholic drink of any kind was 37p, but the young lass I'd found out had necked half a bottle of Benylin and swallowed a few Valium before leaving the flat, so 37p later she was hammered.

    • @AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool
      @AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool  3 роки тому +1

      Yeah a lot of the old guest houses & hotels in Blackpool have been converted into flats, bedsits and in some cases HMOs (Houses in Multiple Occupation). Rent prices are pretty much rock bottom too as many of the properties are barely fit for living. There is a program about slum landlords on Channel 5 which follows a letting agent in charge of many of the low rent properties. Prince Wills & Kate visited one of the most deprived areas a couple of years ago on Lytham Road.

      @@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool My current rented house is only twenty years old, the double glazed windows are on a 30 year spreadsheet and many are no longer thermal. Neighbourhood watch can be achieved from under the front door and it fails on the government checklist. My house was built for the Shareholder dividend on a budget rather poorly and not for the quality of living in..
      I heard of a local Albanian drug lord who was awash with cash and he uses it to buy old houses and turns them into flats for his staff from the Pizza shop and the car washes who oddly spend most of their time on the phone. None of them would pass any electrical quality or safety checks or even migration checks.
      I have other local landlords who have been paid handsomely to house illegal migrants and no regulations are followed. Twenty in a two bed bungalow is the most over crowded I've seen with the kitchen and bathroom ripped out so the floor could be filled with mattresses. The piles of rubbish outside is the giveaway.
      I think it was around 1976 when it said in the paper that Blackpool had more millionaires than London, an apprentices pay at the time was £16. Tramps wandered the sea front picking up dog ends, pens, lighters, hair combs and would proudly have them on display on the inside of their coat. After an hour or two they would stop on a bench and dismantle the dog ends and build a fag.
      Down the road in St Annes Les Dawson's Housemaid made me a cup of tea in fine bone china with a saucer and the slice of toast was cut diagonal. The carpet I was stood on was more per square yard than i earnt in a month and was made of this stuff called wool whereas I'd become used to nylon.
      Both ends of many spectrums can be seen in the area and it's a shame to see it's demise.

      Gritty videos are what I do best. I've got plenty of feel good ones as well. Something for all tastes.
