Herons food is quite an expensive shop compared to Iceland etc...Any idea when the new IMAX/ Wilko will open?
Thanks Moonage xx

@@duncanletts3015 Hi Duncan. Moonage was meant to reply that the membership is via the home page, where the other tabs are, i.e Community tab etc. Her UA-cam is down at mo
Shout out to the cleaning crew , done a banging job considering .
That carpark & cinema is coming along nicely 👌 I love walking around Blackpool 1st thing in the morning before the town wakes up its so peaceful ❤
Great vlog as always I was brought up on Blackpool holidays and believe me they were magical and steam trains came in with well dressed working people. Great memories
Nice to see they are trying to make Blackpool look better. Not before time!
Wish we had the Blackpool council bin men, street cleaners etc where I live. They do a great job.
You would think young farmers would care more about leaving so much rubbish. How about if i went to a farm and dumped that rubbish id be arrested. The street cleaners in Blackpool do a great job.
SPOT ON DAVID 100 % agree we can't even walk over there field's never mind drop litter on them
They are the worst thinking the own all the land and not making footpaths wide enough!
Hello again Stephen
The morning after the night before
It doesn't take long for the council to clean up fair play
Thanks for your video Stephen
Imagine pulling into central drive in a steam train 🚂 the excitement, the good old days
I'd have absolutely loved that, my Grandad was a train driver, he drove The Flying Scotsman, The Mallard and The Silver Link and more besides. I think it's in my blood, I'd love to go on a steam train 😊
Thank you for the cycle round, Stephen😊. They did a good job clearing up. I hope there wasn't too much use for the sawdust.. .
Thanks Sheila.
The Castle pub 😂 best pub in Blackpool that is Stephen .....give it a shout out next time you do a video......we always stay at the holiday beach flats just round the corner......😊 And well done on the bike I couldn't cycle that quick .....😮
Great vid Stephen thank you.👍
Thanks Stephen as always 👍 🙏
Enjoyed that Stephen thanks again
something eerily nostalgic about Blackpool I’m moved
With its yellow and white bricks the new car park looks like it maybe made from lego !
i am wondering how CHEAP IT'S going to be to stay in there bet it will be a bit on the steep side mmmmm
Thanks for the interesting video Stephen 👍🏻
Thanks so much Sylvia 🙏

I wish it was an E-bike!

@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool hi Stephen great vid by the way must say i had a e-bike i got rid of it they are more bother than they are worth charging wise my had a mind of it's own out & about also it would just kick in when it felt like it sold it as a none runner lost a lot of money on it got an ordinary mountain bike now less to go wrong 10/10 for the video thank you
Blackpool has always been good at clearing up after the nights out
Lovey video
About 5 years ago the night of illuminations switch on about 11.30pm you would have needed wellies on to wade through the rubbish by Coral island by 8am it was spotless even power washed hats off to Blackpool council worker's for the great job they do, take care Steven x
Brilliant early morning video Stephen thanks mate
Another splendid video thank you very much
What a great video, Blackpool did look (mostly) tidy, looks like you took your life in your hands on Dixon Road. Well done.😘💚
Thanks for the video Stephen. I enjoyed it .👍❤️
Made me laugh, re sawdust and you said “prob. Makes them feel at home” 🤣🤣🤣xx
That young Farmer on Central Drive is doing the walk of shame. Leaving somebody's room no doubt.
Great little ride round Stephen, shout out to all the police and security at the weekend they did a top job 👍 😊
The tower looked like it was leaning then haha probably with the way you had the camera 😂😂
Heron Foods is an excellent shop you need to get in there Stephen 👍
These videos make me look more and more forward to coming in July.. maybe there were still some young farmers out cos i think according to Google Walkabout is open till 4am.
Thanks for the video Stephen a lot off rubbish behind Walkabout needs taken away.
It will have been moved later that morning.
Stayed at the Ruskin for the first time for one night was lovely would go again. Hope they sort out that entrace of the Winter Gardens soon..looks a mess.
Hi Stephen thank you for another great video as always I enjoyed that very interesting all of that rubbish blimey lol so many things happening in Blackpool have a great evening xx
Thanks Wendy x
Looks like everyone had a good time 😊
I’ll be there at the winter gardens this year for the 50th anniversary of Wigan casino 💃💃💃
I used to stay at the NORWOOD HOTEL on HULL ROAD years ago could you show it in your video if it is still in business it would be so good the owners Lorraine and Geoff were brilliant people love watchin you videos 👍👍👍👍
Your videos are brilliant
Thanks Susan 🙏
Great vlog felt as if I was on the bike with you Stephen lol😅
Are you a time traveller Steven. To quote you "It's Saturday morning just about 8pm" Now that takes some doing lol. All the best keep up the good work.
Hi Stephen. How's it going and another fantastic video well done and keep up the great work
Must say that the street cleaners did a good job. You did well as I would still have been in bed. Lol.
Due to open the holiday inn by summer 2023…. Hoping they’re on time
As usual great vlog Stephen
A lot of money can be found on the floor if you pick up all the coins. You need to go out at 0400 at dawn in the summer. Wallets and unopened bottles too. I used to do this in Rhyl.
Giving me ideas now 💡
Thank god for litter ,it’s keeping people in a job x
Outside your home?
I remember when Funny Girls was the Odian cinema i saw ET in there. Happy times.
Thanks Steven
Crumbs, all that rubbish!!!! I'd be worried I was going to stumble over a body 😂
I have been in heron get some good stuff in there x
i go in there often when when i go back home to visit my relatives i stock up from heron even my the town i live now has a Herron so either way am all right also both have a B&M's save money especially now with inflation so high it's not going to COME BACK DOWN mark my word's once it's up it's up to stay ....
Blackpool kitchen fit
Heron's food very reasonable
hi Steve you should go to herons it is very very good you get some good food and beverages from them kind regards Paul Williams and Diane Williams your loyal and respectful fans from Bartley green
Another great video Stephen. A really interesting time in the Young Farmers weekend is the Sunday lunchtime when they are all going home, still drunk and heavily hungover. I was in Blackpool last year on the Sunday and it was interesting to say the least. When I got my train back to Chorley it was full of young farmers and hearing their tales of the weekend was entertaining for sure. I think a lot of them don't actually get back to their hotels at all !
Was Central Station shut down by Dr Beecham? He was the chap who closed down a lot of the old railways in the mid 1960s . Would be interesting to know. Great video fella.
Apparently, Beeching recommended the closing of Blackpool North but the council decided to close Blackpool Central because they thought they could do something with the land. Well, it's taken them long enough... 😂
The street cleansing team would have been quids in picking up all the money that was dropped.
The Tower was originally a Bell Syphon Tower which is part of a hydro power system. (From Real History.) Same for the Eiffel tower in Paris. Note how they are both close to water.
This is so helpful to me, because we are coming to Blackpool for the ballroom dance comp in June. This is held at Winter Gardens. I know there are hotels right by that place. Is there anyway you could film the hotels that are by Winter Gardens and the restaurants. Also, the Air BNB's by the Salvation Army or whatever you call them there. That would help me so much. Thanks you are a good tour guide. Which restaurants for fish and chips would you recommend?
Thanks, I'll see what I can do, so keep watching. Try Yorkshire Fisheries & Tower Fisheries on Topping Street for fish & chips.
Yes - I note that the young farmers (and others I guess?) are not too bothered about leaving piles of litter in their wake! Still - they are not the ones who have the task of cleaning it up.
I’ve got to be honest I think it looks a dump! Yes I have been to Heron foods before… great video to you sir … Smithy
Central drive is more like Central Romania
"Hey cheeky" i was Born just off central drive opposite the joke shop dew to be pulled down Havelock street nice street
Just going through your older vlogs while you away
Cool, thanks.
All the new buildings look great ...cant wait for the old police station and court house are pulled down..they are horrific
I actually like the police station
Hi great video the only herons I have been in was in south wales it's very cheap for what it is I think it's owned by B&M but I'm not sure
Is the indoor shopping centre still there? It had a department store in it. I forget the name.
All the youngsters probably nursing a very bad hangover. Nice to see you obeying traffic laws; people here in the US don't give a FF, blow red lights, etc. I was struck by a cyclist in NYC not obeying traffic laws.
Thank you for the tour!
sawdust is to soak up the puke !
Was the Mecca bingo on the new site of the multi story car park?
No, the Mecca was on another section of Central Drive. I went past the site in this video Streets of Blackpool Early Morning

@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool thank you 👍🏼
When did Blackpool get so run down 😮
It's not to my taste but each to their own. Interesting to see the differences between the north and south coast though.
It's such a shame that British seaside towns have sank so much.🙁 Kind of the same inland, this country is rotting from the outside in.
You'd think we would invest, British seaside experience as it once was was a big selling point, if we hadn't squandered it arguably before we joined the E.U we likely would have gotten far more tourism from abroad. Seems to be seaside towns especially are neglected so much without any regards to their potential value.
Having lived by the sea, you can literally see the degradation accelerate year upon year, it's pretty bleak.
Blackpool grew as a traditional British seaside resort. In wakes weeks of Lancashire mill towns, the place would be absolutely full of families on their summer holidays.
Who would take a family there today. The place is full of greasy burger bars, run down retail units and shabby bars. It might be the haunt of revellers for a cheap night of boozing but has nothing to offer the family in entertainment and seaside attractions. Multi storey carparks! the whole place lacks any vison for future development and is wallowing it past reputation of good times long gone. Very sad but so typical of the UK in 2023
Not many bins near pubs?
We have a herons food in Daventry
12.40. Now that is what is known as putting out the rubbish, for the rats. It used to be that a gang of street cleaners, this was in another part of the country, would go out at 7 am and a sweeper wagon to clean up the city center. In no time the lot was cleared. Here one small sweeper truck that must surely have to go back to the depot to empty itself, then come back.
They do not have this problem with the countries that I have visited, and each morning streets washed down, early morning.
Is the national express coach being removed
i need to know this question also Rachel as can't no longer drive dew to health issues
@John Lishman it's still there now but not sure if it's being moved,we are going Blackpool in September
Can you still park on houndshill over night does anyone know please
DOES ANYONE REMENBER THE BRITISH LEGUINE ON QUEENS STREET OR THE STREET PAST THERE IN THE 1060S
mam & dad used to go in there often when we lived in Blackpool i was only a kid then
The sawdust is to help soak up the vomit!!.
When you say early morning was it before 7am ?
Young farmers aint like the older farmers. Messy buggers
All that rubbish piled up outside one pub would suggest to me that it was a planned incident to do the dirty on yer.
They're not even farmers, per se. Just a bunch of scratch & sniff.
To be fair that does'nt look too bad Ive seen much much worse on a Saturday morning.
Where is primark in the town centre
Hi Rachel, Primark is on Bank Hey Street, opposite the back of Blackpool Tower 😊
@Moonage Daydream ok thanks for letting me know 🙂
Shout out to the street cleaners which I am one of
👍👍👍
Some people actually go here for a holiday????? Id rather sit and home and watch paint dry!
Central dive 😂😂😂
can you tell me why there is a taxi rank on talbot rd and no taxis on it ?
No.
Please follow the Countryside code. 😂
as the Hackett hotel gone now Stephen is it knocked down now.?.john south shore..
@@5threelborn ha ha funny mate...nar they will start with central then move north...lol.
council will make it yet another carpark no doubt
Hi Stephen how come your not videoing the demolition of the Hacketts hotel. Having to watch other bloggers .not as interesting as you .
I went back again Irene.
This type of BRitain is so unromantic, the new buildings make it look even worse, not to mention the weather
..Blackpool..town centre nice and clean..other areas..😱🤢🤮💩
Who are the farmers?
Are they from a certain area?😂
8pm????🤔
My bad.
@A Walk on the Wild Side Heaven forbid you make a mistake Stephen 😘 xx
Jake Gyllenhaal strikes again
Blackpool doesn’t get called dump for nothing
Harsh ! At least they are trying to improve areas .
@@peterbarker6249
Let them hate.
Then there's more of Blackpool for those of us who love it 😊
@@booboopriestess9321 Couldn't agree more.
