  • Blackpool has been an amazing place over the years I cannot remember the amount of holidays I’ve had there and enjoyed every single moment, but I haven’t been there for ten years and rumours are it’s in massive decline. Come with me on this journey and let’s find out if it’s boarded up and can it bounce back! #blackpool #explore #abandoned #exploring #housingmarket #property #boardedupblackpool #seaside #hotels #north #northern #blackpoolfc

    Blackpool council have made it harder to trade, I remember in the 90s there was tv advertising promoting Blackpool and what it had to offer, that does not happen anymore. Me and my friends were shocked at how much the sandcastle were charging for entry, lots of attractions were very expensive, this means people will just come for the day and not stay, Blackpool council make parking expensive and they can waste money on things like the tram extension the cost for going on the tram is now £3.50 Blackpool council could for a start allow free parking on the street until 10am instead of 8am for a start.

    Yates is a tragedy. It is a fine Art Deco building and an important piece of Blackpool's architectural heritage. It needs to be "Listed' as a building of architectural merit. It was formerly the Red Lion when I first knew it in 1984, later becoming Leo's. Hartes is the old Woolworths store. It was very popular with local people. Apparently they sold Christmas decorations all year. Bond Street is finished. Sadly Blackpook has become an embarassment. I lived there for 7 years an left 25 years ago. I would not go back. The town is finished. Very sad.

      @@Hotondave68 Yes, Brittania Metropole, the only hotel on the promenade is housing immigrants for £35 a day each via governmental funds. A new temporary entrance/exit is housed around the back. Got to appease the Daily Mail and Express-reading scuzz. These people need refuge, it doesn't bother me. What bothers me is the DISGUSTING state of disrepair caused by Brittania.
      I worked there when it was Butlins, such a crying shame to see what Brittania have done. Just cash whores. 21st century capitalist vultures milking the immigrant pound for all it's worth.

      Blackpool is "red wall" and went Tory last time under major league filther, Boris scumbag Johnson.
      Ergo, we got nearly every grant going. The town is undergoing huge projects and is in a league of its own seaside-wise. Only good days ahead. Ignore the rough bits, the new multi-million projects are everywhere. Why? Domestic tourism is back to skyrocketing thanks to the idiots that voted for Brexit, plus as a reward for installing a Tory MP in both Blackpool seats; North and South, we got nearly all money requested.
      Labour seat request for funds? Nah.
      Oh you're Tory now? Take all this cash.
      The only silver lining of dealing with this wicked corrupt entitled government, Blackpool has done incredibly out of it.
      Blackpool Tourist Board are also great at submitting bids.
      Google Blackpool projects, it's just awash with building work.
