Demolition Team Move In: Ambassador Hotel Blackpool
Вставка

- I give an update on the recently cordoned off Ambassador Hotel on North Promenade Blackpool due to being deemed unsafe. As I film the video, a team move in to start an emergency demolition of the stricken hotel.

Watching your videos is such a bittersweet reminder. I’ve not watched you in so long, only because I used to watch you with my grandfather. He passed July 2021. We loved you, my heart hurts thinking of all your recent videos that he’s not been able to watch, you provided him a sense of adventure when everything was locked down and miserable. Even then, when we wasn’t locked down and his mobility wasn’t great - we could drive around but we couldn’t walk too far, you did the walking for him. Walk on the wild side - we love you. Thank you 💖
That is so touching. I am glad I helped your grandfather with my videos.
Looking forward to the next video's.
Thanks Steve.
Thanks for the update, very much appreciated. 👍😃
Your videos are so informative. I live in Blackpool but get all the local info from yourself many thanks keep up the good work
On the spot again mr c great update sir.
Hello again, yes you were right about the upper front looking crooked, it look crooked to me also on the video, think they will have to take down the whole corner of the Hotel before the whole lot collapses. Look forward to seeing more of your videos, stay safe.
Hi Stephen yes its definitely crooked thank god there doing something about it thank you for another great video x
That entire end of Blackpool needs a huge upgrade. Looking so shoddy now.
Thank you. Nice to see pictures of Blackpool, I used to live there 1967 - 71.
Our roving reporter. Cheers.
A shame to see any Blackpool landmark disappear off the map but it’s for the best on Health & Safety grounds. Your last daylight report exposed the shocking condition of the building and the risk to the public.
Wow that's very dangerous, if we have high winds that won't need demolition, that top couple of floors will be on the prom, thanks for the update Mate 👍 😎
Thank you Steve, you've got me hooked, looking forward to the rest
Will keep you posted.
Great info Steve, look forward to your updates
Great 👍! Beautiful ocean view!
We stayed there about 20 years ago, it's such a shame.
Thanks again for taking the time to update
look forward to the next video.
Thanks for watching Jackie.
Thanks for the update it's looking very dangerous, sooner the better it's down for the sake of the other two, looking forward to seeing more stay safe👍
The queens hotel is wheelchair friendly ,the staff are really helpful. We were supposed to be their last week but couldn’t because of lockdown ,we will book again as soon as possible when we can .you cannot go wrong staying there we have been three times and love it . Thanks for the videos love watching them
I'm hooked great video mate ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you for another good video and the information you tell us
Great reporting 👍
👍 Thanks for the updates 😀 It needs to come down before folk come on their turkey and tinsel holidays!😬
Good video 😎
Thanks for sharing m8y
😃🍻👍🏻
I was booked into the Ambassador a few years ago , I was booked out from the President.
It was a dump, disgusting place then. As a coach driver, you sometimes get put into places like that!
Surprised that top corner bit is still up, cheers for the update 👍
he wasn't run over by the tram because he actually got across the tram lines and it was the front right corner (looking from forward view but left hand corner drivers view)that actually hit him in the programme, brilliant stunt work though, i wonder how many health and safety officers where present at the time of filming the scene
Another sensational video thank you so much for your hard work and tenacity!! Your knowledge is brilliant, really hope you do start on a few Blackpool videos. Perhaps history of North Pier may be a good place to start, I've heard that it was once the most upmarket part of Blackpool, (unsure if that's true?) sadly now it's anything but.....
Thank you Christopher. Yes I am thinking of doing some different types of videos, like history for instance.
Great filming keep safe
Thanks x
New subscriber thanks for the update can't wait see next video on the hotel to see what they do
Thank you for the subscribe Gareth.
@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool welcome mate realy enjoying your videos
This loss wouldn’t be so sad if the developers replaced this beautiful architecture with something other than square brick prison like characterless blocks of trash. Are there no skilled builders anymore?
Thanks for the vid very helpful
Great coverage , bet we'll see alot if footage tomorrow ,nice to see you on pt bloggs live stream
Stayed there a few years ago, great hotel in its day.
Good reporting I like Blackpool keep up the good work stay safe 👏👏👏👏
Thanks pal.
Catch the demolition for us cheers
Looking forward to the next episode. It should be a ground shaking adventure. 😁
Thanks for update
I stayed in the Rutland Hotel once about 10 years ago
Thanks for update keep us posted im hopeing to get to langwood bispham dec depending on boris and his croanies stay safe
Hi I’m from Belfast in Northern Ireland I
Was over in Blackpool for the pigeon
Shows in January every year up until
About three years ago and always had
A great weekend it’s great to watch all
You’re videos off the places around
Blackpool keep them coming it’s just
Like being back there we used to stay
In the Cliffs or the Savoy or the Doric
It’s sad to see it with not many people
In it and it must be hard for the people
Not being able to open the shop and Bars they must be losing lots of money
Great stuff. I hope the pigeon show is running next years, but it doesn't look likely right now. I was just watching a reality show on the hotel nearby, the President. They featured the pigeon fanciers on there. You can see it on UA-cam.
Not like the Farmers then 😳
@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool no I don’t Think the pigeon show will go ahead
We will hope that it will be ok for 2022
And all being well we will go over for the
Weekend and have a great time we will
Need it after the year we have had 😀
Thank-u. X
Thank you glad to see it going to be pulled now not before time it should have been done a while ago
Great update! . It is people like you, by taking the time to film (not best weather a lot). Then upload videos (like the condition of this hotel still standing), the comments which you receive etc. The council don't want backlash or take risks so have acted faster.
Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice keep up the good work sir and be safe
Stayed there in the 90’s had a great week .we were i one those rooms on the side .it was scorching we were glad we werent facing the sea .the ppl in those rooms were burning up .it was the week when there were heaps of dead ladybirds all over the prom.
Wow that was quick. Walked past it every morning on my way to work at the grand. Been laid off from there at the moment as no guests. Xx surprised I never had any bricks drop on my head
From the video it looks like a full demo of the Ambassador. Partial demolition will be very expensive. Better to level to grade and lay a car park as more profitable in the longer term for the Owner. So sad to see another great hotel disappear from the Blackpool landscape.
If It could fall at any time why isn't it cordened off? That tram that went past looked very close to it.
Keep us posted please.
....maybe they could just take that dodgy top floor off ....and leave a flat roof ....and make a roof garden there , with a bar , and palm trees etc ...ready for next year's sunny Summer season ?!
Lol
sad but expected, i always liked the purple colours used on it and thanks for the closeup of the plaque. on your next "street" upload could you please film some of Holmfield road
It's not on my list, but I will see if I can include it sometime. A friend of mine had a guest house on Holmfield Road back in the olden days.
@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool that would be fantastic thankyou! :)
Only Half of it coming down what is the point of that the buildings unsafe knock it all down before someones hurt
I just wanted to say that I absolutely love your videos , you are my number one you tuber.
May I ask what your name is , I look forward your videos coming out.
Thanks Samuel. My name is Stephen.
Great video both my husband Mark and I love watching your blogs any info on wheelchair friendly hotels would be welcome
Yes. The Bond Hotel South Shore is a specialist disability hotel. My friend's family run it and it is very good.
Yeah that hotel is in a bad way it will all have to come down i think. Love your videos keep us informed please. Great to hear the jet we go to RAF VALLEY on Anglessey and stay in a cottage right next to the airfield its awesome. Lets hope the illuminations will be back on after Thursday and life can get back to something like normal. Stay safe.
Thank pal. I have not been to RAF Valley, but I have visited the Mach Loop several times.
Looks like the demolition company has had a profitable lockdown.
They certainly have.
Looks good!
Hope your staying safe mate?
As if you caught me in this... 😂 like you said, can't tell you're filming with that camera!
2 seconds of fame lol.
It's sad to see such an old hotel in such disrepair. How does a hotel get left to be in such a state ? and I wonder what effect the demolition will have on the neighbouring Rutland Hotel. Could it be a worry or a Godsend ??
Hopefully it will be good in the end. those two hotels have had a lot of investment, so it would be a shame if they suffered because of this.
The people in the hotel next door could be in for a noisy time.
What a shame more of Blackpool disappearing
The hotel needs to be completely knocked down
Fantastic thanks for this and I was just wondering do you know if the President on the corner used to be called the North Bank?
I didn't, actually. Not sure if, or when that hotel will open again.
Hey bud, love your vids. Just wondering, what do you use to edit your videos before you upload them? Thanks in advance 👍
I edit currently using iMovie on iMac, but looking to upgrade to Final Cut Pro.
Nice one dude ✌️
What year was the coronation street story line, can you remember?,thanks mate
How on earth can 10 people find fault in this. Go get a life and troll someone who deserves it as plenty out there
It's been left far to long and is a shame its come to this it's amazing that they have so much money just to let it sit and not revamp it in the first place would have been cheaper in the long run before it got so badly vandalised
I’m late with this one.... 🙈
Stayed at the Derby Hotel back in the seventies.
The Derby Hotel is still going.
Thought the videos were in order.
about time too
Looks very unstable ☠️
how long had it been empty?
6 years.
Are you going to keep up to date with it
I will do my best.
another one bites the dust !?
Hope I get some work back xxx
Stephen, don't forget to put your tin hat on next time you are filming this site!!!!!!
That was fast. Over a decade of deriliction and now demolition. Your expose must have shamed them into action.
It may have done. I even spoke on the local radio about it.
@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool Nice one. Now where else needs naming and shaming ?
Will you film it being demolished?
Yes
@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpoolgreat
Every time I pass that I always tell my mate when iwin the lottery I'm buying it. Lol Looks like I might not get the chance now. Gutted
i always say that too!
Thanks for the update Leroy 👍
My name is Stephen lol. You are thinking of the other lad.
@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool lol sorry Stephen 😂
Ye seen on Helen's crowd this after noon
Looking for a Ian white that used to work here in the late 80ies early 90ies thankyou
Can we get some pics of them demolishing it
I will try to follow the demolition.
Hope they pull it down fix it up proper cause it's a prime flat or house business
Yes, the new owner has plans for upmarket apartments.
Another demolishing?!?
Nice to see a Blackpool vlogger not begging for money.
There’s loads of buildings that needs nocking down in Blackpool because of all the drug addicts they have moved there it’s a total shame
There are quite a few drifters in town.
New subscriber ,
Thank you Claire :-)
Hi ....brill video once again 😏 you certainly know your knowledge about blackpool ....keep the videos coming xx if possible can you do a shout out please to cheryl and eddie and( Logan 4 years old ) from Wolverhampton xx
Thank you. I have you down for a shout when I get round to it. This week hopefully.
@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool bless you thanks ....dont for Logan haha he will be upset xxx keep up the good work xx
work started today
They are doing a soft strip to start with. Removing furniture & fittings before starting demolition.
a vidio has emergened on we love blackpool on facebook they have started tearing it down @@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool
Is the name Tara still in the paving stones outside the President?
Don't know. Can check.
Another eyesore.
Leroy . I t really got to have full demolition ,and it’s looking very unsafe and going demolish it self ,if I know that area of North Shore it
Takes the full Force of Morecambe Bay, if it gets very stormy ,that’s when the alarm bell will ring at the Town Hall down the road at
Talbot Square ,also you got be very careful not to bring the Hotel down next door from Fleetwood Tom
I worked there in my youth! Shame. The George Hotel has gone as has Arnold School. Blackpool is turning into a pensioner town waiting for God.
Wow...
That is perhaps what's needed most : get the clubs scene out for good
maybe the driver of the demolition truck should read the highway code instead of driving one handed whilst being on his phone.....
Oh so im not the only to see that then lol..send to clip to his employer so he can lets say "enlighten" him on the law and what the company expects of there drivers hhhmmmm
Helen's croud and loud is that a girl real name
Yes I think so.
