    Thanks for this excellent video Stephen. I only wish my wife & I had relocated to Lytham St Anne's when we retired. It is just a beautiful world away from what is going on the former industrial towns of Lancashire.

    Loved the look around Lytham Stephen. When i was a child my mum and dad , sundays after dinner used to drive us here from Bolton, park up on the front and later drive into Blackpool for a fish and chips takeaway, wrapped in newspaper., happy memories 😊

    These are the places that a lot of people that visit Blackpool don't know exist and only a bus ride away. A lot never venture beyond south and north pier. Lovely town, thanks Steve.

    Sirens follow you around!
    My wife & I like heading to Lytham on the bus (11 & 11A are now the direct buses from Blackpool, with the 11B going via Queensway) for a chill from Blackpool! There's a little restaurant we used, which you walked past but I can't remember the name of it!
    The Lytham St Annes Corporation trams got as far north as Gynn Square from 1924 but were replaced by buses in 1937. Blackpool had proposed taking over the Lytham trams and running through to Fleetwood but the plan was rejected by the casting vote of the Lytham Mayor.
    The blue Lytham, later Fylde buses lasted for many years, though, being a frequent sight on joint routes into Blackpool. Blackpool Transport would purchase Fylde in 1994, phasing out the blue livery in 1996, though Squire Gate garage hung on until 1999.

    'B' is for Buick! The white convertible is a Packard.
    8.09: That's the old Lytham Baths building. The library is further down Clifton St. (You passed it at 20:10).
    Lytham is in the Doomsday Book - nothing to do with Blackpool!
    St Annes was built by wealthy cotton magnates from Manchester,etc. who wanted somewhere to play golf initially. Then they started to build roads and houses.
    Thanks for coming down our way - great vid as usual - thanks.

Ah !!! ,but there is a few things that Lytham has not got , That Tower , probably the greatest illumination display in the World and , the Jewell in Crown The ballroom [ A wonder of the world in my opinion ] and right on the doorstep of the Lake district . What more do you want ! Yes Lytham may have the class but not the Spirit or the Vibe of Blackpool .

    Great upload Stephen. Hat's off to you ! Um... I used to socialise in Lytham 20+ years ago mostly at The Taps. Great pub back then and social mix, some real characters such as Tractor Dave who did various foreshore activities with predictably, his vehicle of choice. There was always an "Elite" who maintained separation from we the "hoi polloi". Some great friends I've lost contact with. Nowadays Lytham revolts me in its ostentation. A wealthy enclave shutting out said hoi polloi. They screamed like banshees when a hovercraft service was proposed to Southport - didn't want scallies like Nick and Rob coming over from Merseyside. Fylde Council are too tight to grant concessionary passes on Blackpool trams, the only council in the Fylde to do so, no problem if you own a Porsche.
