What a shame. Like all our seaside towns now run down and no prospect. Why can’t we make seaside towns work? My holidays has a child was spent across that coast, good memories.
I agree all seaside towns have suffered.All big accommodation on sea fronts let go housing people from all over,they can't tidy house up but can lotter them with beer cans and fag end,what a horrible place bbritain has turned down into
Hi Billy, I'm a long time lurker on your channel and first time commenting, I'd just like to say that you should consider doing more tours of British towns. Just the right mix of filming, talking, interviewing and listening... Really fascinating viewing. Thanks!
I don't come from Morecambe, but lived on Alexander Road in the mid 80s lived in Morecambe for a couple of years it was a lovely well kept area, sad to see the state its in especially around regent Road.. Everyone I knew who lived in Morecambe has moved out
Not necessarily I live in Australia & I can tell you we’re definitely heading the same way, we’re trying to get an early election so we can vote out the tool we have because of his mass immigration among so much more, no houses 4 real Aussies, can’t rent, living in tents in cars while immigrants get free housing a place to stay when they 1st get here, free money free everything because they he government want more voters, this is a world wide agenda
I lived in morecambe through the 80s.. syringes over the streets and that was b4 the fair closed an morecambe died..all the hotels are now bedsits and the place has gone to the pits.

I'm not convinced about some of the so called homeless. This may be somewhat of a sweeping statement, but I think if you offered any of that lot you were talking to a paying job starting at 8.00am every day they would run (sorry get a taxi on benefits) a mile.
Watched this with a heavy heart as I'm born and bred Morecambe but moved away 20 years ago. But it's the age old question, where do you house people who don't want to be part of a functioning society and are incapable of existing in an adult way? Every town has this problem it's just seaside towns have it worse. Why live off benefits in the inner cities of say Manchester, Liverpool or Glasgow when they'll give you a flat by the seaside?
The problem is the influx of immigrants the last decade or so..... As a kid homeless people were called tramps and you never seen many..... Now our streets are full of homeless yet they still allow thousands of both legal and illegal immigrants daily... Look after our own
Me and a friend were only talking about that the other day. You never see tramps anymore. The thing was a lot of the tramps chose to live like that. Probably had a bad time from the Second World War, etc. x

Yeah I know these people, i actually seen her, Lyndsey and the guy in blue, Paul or hobo as he's known, earlier on Friday, and yeah they're quite pleasant, 👌💯.
Was lovely to chat to you Billy about the decline of our national values, respect & acceptance of what's going on in or communities... Paul (jetski)..... 😉 Respect.......
If you can look past the drink you can see the sadness in their faces, lost soul's, stuck.The thing about civil liberties the government wash their hands with the public.Results the country is on it's knees.Good one Bill 👊☘️
Lindsey is usually chatty and cheerful but some days breaks down if I see her early morning when she’s freezing cold and has walked the streets all night to keep warm. She has schizophrenia and addiction issues. Council say they won’t house her as she’s a threat to herself… never mind the threats other people pose towards her. I often see her with black eyes where she’s been assaulted. It’s v sad
It was a great day out in the 80s , i only lived 5 mile away in Lancaster and it was like going abroad, along the prom was like 5 deep, great memories, i think they had to pull frontier land down , before it fuckin fell down, especially the big dipper, remember me and me brother getting stuck at the top of the big wheel, which at that time was the biggest in the world, 👌💯✌️.
I loved it, youd be there all day with your little wrist band on going on what you want as many times as you like. I drove my own kids up in 2006 and there was nothing left apart fro ruins of the old entrance on the prom. Ended up going Blackpool and spending 10x more money. Real shame though because I have lots of good memories of Morcambe fair and seafront.
@@richardallport1577 yeah those bands, and on a Friday night they were only a pound, i think they were usually a Jackson, great times, great memories 👌💯✌️.
Hey Billy, thanks for this familiar insight. I live in Morecambe. It's a sh*thole. I don't walk the streets any more - even in the daytime. One good thing is being able to stand with your back to Morecambe, and look at the beautiful lake district across the bay, wishing you lived there x
Ha ha 😆😆✌️. I live up in Heysham, got a good view of the bay, but I can see barrow out my living room window, and deffo not thinking, wish I was there, u think Morecambe bad 😆✌️.
@@ruth_southernstar peel island is quite nice, got the worst sunburn ever there, in the late seventies, early eighties but it is a lovely little island, with a pub a castle and even a king, yeah I know, yeah other than that, the very best thing in barrow is the road outta there, proper , 💩🕳️. Lol 😆😎✌️.
Billy your a top lad , as down to earth as it gets with any of these podcasters ,good luck and GOD bless to you and all your family brother, keep up the good work
Used to go to Morecambe on holiday but what has happened to our English seaside holidays? I used to love going to Morecambe, Blackpool. Dont think I'll bother any more
Alright Billy 👍 the video of Morecombe is so bleak lad the homeless people are all from the UK 🇬🇧 it's quite noticble to me ,there's no room in the Inn for our own people but !!!! If your from another country your hotel is up the road it's just so ridiculous imagine us going over to France lad on a dingy do you honestly think they would put us up in a hotel and give us 3000 euros 💶 keep the vids coming there so eye opening
Hi Billy: I'm a musician from County Durham. I'm creating a music video for a track I've written and wondered whether you'd allow me to use a few seconds from your brilliant video. I would credit you in the video's end credits. I should add that I make no money from the music. Thanks John.
There’s an annual trip from Bradford to Morecambe. I think they refer to it as ‘The Bradford Ladies’ trip. They seem to enjoy it every year.. however, they don’t go where this guy has filmed. I’m pretty sure if he tried, he would find just as bad in Liverpool.
Been to Morecambe twice in my life, once as a holiday as a young kid, remember it being a lovely place thought it was posh growing up in Walton, the second time 5 years ago and was a bit of a shock seeing the decline. still seemed posh compared to county road though.
Damn bro i didn't think it had gotten so grim, its been many Years since i visited and was actually considering a trip but you saved me the wasted journey.
It almost looks as bad as Rhyl has gone?! It actually upset me the last time I drove through Rhyl because we used to holiday down the road in Towyn and frequently went into Rhyl on the fairground etc and I had good memories of it, the decline is so bad I can’t believe the council has let it happen.
@@MichaelParkinson-wz1nh Prestatyn isn’t too bad actually but Rhyl is a proper ghost town. If I go to North wales now I’ll travel a bit further down the coast to Caernarfon or Pwhelli.
@@MichaelParkinson-wz1nh yeah around that cardigan bay area is some spectacular scenery, that site that was butlins I think turned into a hoseasons site. edit: It didn’t have that many ho’s on it when I was there though!! 😂
Morecambe is still a nice place. Bill should have visited 2 weeks ago, when it was ‘Vintage Weekend’ on a lovely sunny day. The town was vibrant, packed with fun loving tourists, classic car show, food stalls, pubs packed, a touring fairground for the children. These people would STILL have been where you chose to film, on their drink & drugs. Everyone can make choices in life… sadly some make the wrong ones.
I live in Morecambe and never feel threatened walking past this group. I stop to chat and they are very friendly. Just lost souls with MH issues and addiction issues. The Scottish lady has schizophrenia.
@@Melynnest nice one I'm local and know all these, Paul, hobo the best, he's decent lad like u say just a bit lost, and there's usually another lass Netty who i went to school with, she was a stunner, but says a lot cos ppl are getting her an the scotch lass Linsey mixed up. ✌️😎.
Like Bill said sad too see but that little insight into her psycho bully mentality when the 1.30p got mentioned makes me wonder why she'd ever look like that 🤔🤣😂🤣
I used to live in morecambe in the west end just over 14 years ago and it was nothing like that, its a shame to see it so bad.. you actually filmed the alley way behind our old house
Shoulda come 5 mins up the road to Heysham Billy, you'd of got a brew and a scran mate, wounded that i missed ya I'd of liked a chin wag mate, but fair play to you, this is the parts you need to be showing, THIS IS ENGLAND, horrible that West end innit Bill, ✌️.
@@theallornothingpodcastwith4442 it's a date, ha ha 🤣, and bring Terry next time, i would love to have a good chat wi yers, nice one though Billy which one offered y the best deal, linsie or Sue, ha ha ✌️.
Yeah Heysham is wicked, I remember my nan used to take us to a tea room up some steep steps😊 my aunt still lives in Morecambe but not in the west end. I’m a Londoner but used to love my walks down the prom to heysham, a couple of horses in the field. Say hello and then a joint next to an old upturned boat
@@antonyclement8871 must be going back, how long ago was that, I'm from Lancaster originally, but I've lived up here 18 years, and i love it, and I love that walk up and down the prom, going back a few months, i was walking my little chihuahua, just down past them horses, and Tyson Fury, comes joggin towards me with Isaac lowe another Morecambe pro boxer and his training partner, nxt thing my dog proper kicks off, and started going for Fury, and he just started laughing, and said cheeky little bastard, proper class moment, cos I didn't want to be flat packin him in front of his mate. Lol 😆😎✌️. Nice one mate 👌💯.
I always look on the brightside of life. Piss heads on the streets doing no harm but they could learn to use a bin! They seem to enjoy themselves, just need somewhere warm and dry to go in winter. Morecambe has fantastic sunsets, bags of character. Like going into an olde pirate town.. Where's Jack?? Shame you weren't able to show the beautiful mountains across the bay as it was a little hazy. I just love the ocean. If it were inland it would be just another run down town..
It’s nice to know the tories will clean this are up and provide sheltered housing for the homeless if you beleive that there’s no hope for you god bless ‘em
I live 10 mins walk from Alexander road Bill, and this corner near the prom is the exception, Tyson Fury lives just 5 mins drive away, our street is quiet and no social issues evident, the main issues around where you filmed are highlighted really well by you , don’t know what research you’d done beforehand but if you want to see the better side of the town hit me up mate, I’ve lived here 39 years since moving from Bootle and I love it here lad
@@andycreevy1 I'm up higher Heysham, love it up here, from Lancaster originally but been up here 17 years, top of smithy lane overlooking half moon bay, they filmed the TV programme right at the end of my street,👍✌️.
@@blacksunset-x1g sandylands is right on the prom, and is not far from Alexandra rd, but the further up towards Heysham is ok, but lovely views from sandylands, across the bay, thanks for your comments I've given you as much details as I can, but if there's anything else, I will let you know, and if you need anymore info, just ask,👌💯👍.
Tyson should become Morecombe's leading property developer and build the country's biggest gambling casinos and get special status give Blackpool a run for its money.Show it how it's done.
@TriTr-qd2bd Manchester? Have they even done anything with it? It was supposed to rejuvenate Blackpool bringing investment into the local economy en masse.But the local council voted to encourage more tourism but highlighting the history and local traditions.So if Blackpool could not pick up the baton why not take it up the road to Morecombe.
I'd of thought if it was viable then they'd of already done it, they been supposed to be doing a northern Eden project here for yrs, god knows when, they been doing it for years, but like everything else, talk about for twenty years, before they even think about it. ✌️😎.
@@eddiebirch2067 Bring in high rollers like the ex Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and other billionaires.Where the billionaires go then millionaires will follow.
This is the side of Morecambe that most visitors to the Eden Project won't see. It's a town that could and should be so much more, and it's scandalous that it has become a dumping ground.
They're not going to fix their problem sat there though.. should start a band or something. 😑 It's a shame Fury doesn't throw a load of his money into the place seeing as he likes it so much around there. We hear footballers doing the same thing to their communities back home but you never hear about it over here. Great vid as always Billy.
Alexandra rd is the ground zero of the westend . It is part of Morecambe but Morecambe is bigger than the West End . Its in a beautiful part of the country with beautiful views . Fair video of Alexandra Rd .
@@blacksunset-x1g Balmoral road, is in the west end, but it's a little bit away from here and not bad, that's were Heysham high school is, maybe that's why you ask, but it's definitely the best part, and it's on the way towards Heysham, if you're moving there, then don't worry, it's quiet, the antique fella, Paul Hayes, either still lives there, or as not long moved, and professional darts player, Dave, chizzy,chisnal lives just round the corner, Google them both.
Yes lad another great upload to us UA-cam viewers billy its mad to watch these guys bro i swear i would hate to be in there shoes mate i really wouldnt like it one bit bro it just showd don it how good we got it compared to others out there like that man, where js the council fr tbat erea man to come atound once a week cleaning their streets as they should man youd see a hell of a diffrence in 12/18 months Billy if they kept to some kind of a weekly duties like mkst villages or towns and cities eaven man that in itself would be a great idea and if theyd keep to it to man thanks again billy fir your daily uploads bro top man!.✨👑✨💯👌👌✨👍👍👍✨🏴✨
i live on alexandra rd with my husband we are both suffering from long term health conditions and daren't sit out in our own front yard as thrase people are consently fighting amongest themseleves there is plenty of help in morecambe for addiction and we know this as our daughter is in recovery and no one is beyond help but they have to want the help we cant go the shop across the road due to being frightend etc
I grew up on Brunswick road, the first road to the right of where this was filmed. It's progressively got more deprived over the last 40 years I lived there from birth to 23 years old (83 -2006) and the sad decline has only intensified
Billy again thank you for highlighting the north of England’s deprived areas, you should flip the coin and take your camera down to london near Stantead Airport, beautiful new council apartments nicely laid slab pavements I was working for 9 days at the excel exhibition centre near standstead after walking about the north south divide is apparent, it’s an absolute disgrace. Keep up the good work buddy, respect.
Hi Billy, Thanks for your vid. There were actually places that you showed that looked fairly nice!. However were the homeless people were and a few of the back alleys looked untidy and horrible. It's sad to see those lost souls on the streets drinking!. To them drinking and sitting there on the Streets is normal and rationale, when most of us will see it as very sad and pathetic. It really is sad how they're living their lives on the fringes of mainstream society!. Anyway Billy, Thanks for your vid. John. 🥹👍
Yes, on a nice day. The promenade is full at weekends because camper vans & motorhomes can park free.. some thing else the useless councillors have failed to capitalise on. They will bring back ‘Blobbyland’ next ! 😂
Very sad and depressing, especially seeing the group of alcoholic dropouts. Think there was mental health issues and probably onset Korsakoff Syndrome in the mix too. It’s beyond words to explain how bad this country is declining and it’s the Tory government to blame. This general election can’t come soon enough in my opinion. I know the Labour Party isn’t like it used to be but surely it is impossible to do any worse of a job than the shower that we have had to suffer for the last 14 years.
I know all these ppl, the lad with the grey beard and hat is a really good lad, he's got a false leg, and he sleeps in an old cellar round the corner, but he's had quite a few places, he just can't look after himself i suppose, but always gi him a few quid if I've got it, i talk to him every time I'm down there, he's there every day, but he is the only one that's homeless the lassies r not, the Scots one is quite mouthy and she had a big shiner last week, but the little one is a really nice girl, and she was a very pretty girl when i first met her over fifteen years ago, 👌💯.
The decline has been going on far longer than 14 years. Every single government since the 70's is responsible for what Britain has become. Labour and Conservative no difference.
@@PopularesVox you're right, i remember my parents, going on about Thatcher in the 80s, and we used to get milk given in the infants, and she put a stop to that, but u right about one thing, there all full of promises, until they get in power, and then it's about what's innit for them, they all have a place in London, and a big pile in the country, they don't care about us, little ppl, it's about making the rich, richer, and poor, poorer, ✌️.
Labour trash it and Tory try to pick up the pieces been the samd turn out fir years but it's time for reform uk now as a last ditch effort our borders are being invaded
We were taken for days out in Morecambe 70 years ago! It was tidy, old fashioned even elegant!
It was lovely back then
Glad you are still raising awareness Billy thank you so much from a Liverpool supporter in Glasgow it's shocking to see how England has become. 💔😢

Was lovely to chat to you Billy about the decline of our national values, respect & acceptance of what's going on in or communities...
Paul (jetski)..... 😉
Respect.......
Noticed my house walls was filmed, it should not be part of the word 'slum' it was done by local artists and school project, I don't appreciate it
is morcambe as bad as it looks on this video?
@@leeyo5494No. certain parts are. Billy may have single handedly just destroyed any plans for the Eden project !
If you can look past the drink you can see the sadness in their faces, lost soul's, stuck.The thing about civil liberties the government wash their hands with the public.Results the country is on it's knees.Good one Bill 👊☘️
Lindsey is usually chatty and cheerful but some days breaks down if I see her early morning when she’s freezing cold and has walked the streets all night to keep warm. She has schizophrenia and addiction issues. Council say they won’t house her as she’s a threat to herself… never mind the threats other people pose towards her. I often see her with black eyes where she’s been assaulted. It’s v sad
Makes Blackpool look like St Tropez.......
Ha ha 😆, harsh but true, and that's saying something.
I used to love Frontier land, my mum and dad would take us back in the 80s
It was a great day out in the 80s , i only lived 5 mile away in Lancaster and it was like going abroad, along the prom was like 5 deep, great memories, i think they had to pull frontier land down , before it fuckin fell down, especially the big dipper, remember me and me brother getting stuck at the top of the big wheel, which at that time was the biggest in the world, 👌💯✌️.
Same. The rot and decline is shocking. It looks like those films of bombed out areas from WW2.
Those crackheads need professional help in an institution. Care in the community has not worked.
I loved it, youd be there all day with your little wrist band on going on what you want as many times as you like. I drove my own kids up in 2006 and there was nothing left apart fro ruins of the old entrance on the prom. Ended up going Blackpool and spending 10x more money. Real shame though because I have lots of good memories of Morcambe fair and seafront.
@@richardallport1577 yeah those bands, and on a Friday night they were only a pound, i think they were usually a Jackson, great times, great memories 👌💯✌️.
Hey Billy, thanks for this familiar insight. I live in Morecambe. It's a sh*thole. I don't walk the streets any more - even in the daytime. One good thing is being able to stand with your back to Morecambe, and look at the beautiful lake district across the bay, wishing you lived there x
Ha ha 😆😆✌️. I live up in Heysham, got a good view of the bay, but I can see barrow out my living room window, and deffo not thinking, wish I was there, u think Morecambe bad 😆✌️.
@@MichaelParkinson-wz1nh I have only been to Barrow once. There's some nice little beaches around, but yeah, I hear you 😉
@@ruth_southernstar peel island is quite nice, got the worst sunburn ever there, in the late seventies, early eighties but it is a lovely little island, with a pub a castle and even a king, yeah I know, yeah other than that, the very best thing in barrow is the road outta there, proper ,
💩🕳️. Lol 😆😎✌️.
Nice to see u in town Billy hope u enjoyed your visit
I remember visiting Morecambe back in the late 80's, early 90's . Different place back then . Sad decline.
I lived down there nearly 40 years ago.,
It was totaly different.
Glad i left seeing it like that.
Billy your a top lad , as down to earth as it gets with any of these podcasters ,good luck and GOD bless to you and all your family brother, keep up the good work
I blame successive governments for neglecting issues and doing nothing to stop the degeneration of our towns. All deliberate of course!
Moral of the story,if you sleep rough in Morecambe, don't sleep with your mouth open!
Used to go to Morecambe on holiday but what has happened to our English seaside holidays?
I used to love going to Morecambe, Blackpool.
Dont think I'll bother any more
The prom is lovely it’s the back streets at the other end where this was filmed
Another great informative video thanks for sharing with everyone
Alright Billy 👍 the video of Morecombe is so bleak lad the homeless people are all from the UK 🇬🇧 it's quite noticble to me ,there's no room in the Inn for our own people but !!!! If your from another country your hotel is up the road it's just so ridiculous imagine us going over to France lad on a dingy do you honestly think they would put us up in a hotel and give us 3000 euros 💶 keep the vids coming there so eye opening
Feel sorry on those people. Would never judge anyone in life someone’s son someone’s daughter. Life is cruel
Hi Billy:
I'm a musician from County Durham. I'm creating a music video for a track I've written and wondered whether you'd allow me to use a few seconds from your brilliant video.
I would credit you in the video's end credits.
I should add that I make no money from the music.
Thanks
John.
Was planning a ride out from Bradford to morcambe on the hike but don't think I will bother 🤣
There’s an annual trip from Bradford to Morecambe. I think they refer to it as ‘The Bradford Ladies’ trip. They seem to enjoy it every year.. however, they don’t go where this guy has filmed. I’m pretty sure if he tried, he would find just as bad in Liverpool.
Been to Morecambe twice in my life, once as a holiday as a young kid, remember it being a lovely place thought it was posh growing up in Walton, the second time 5 years ago and was a bit of a shock seeing the decline. still seemed posh compared to county road though.
Superb this Billy lad 🏴💪
Sad seeing are seaside Towns ending like this good Vid Billy
"Welcome to Morecombe's 'Costa del Sol!"---That gave me a laugh!!!
Damn bro i didn't think it had gotten so grim, its been many Years since i visited and was actually considering a trip but you saved me the wasted journey.
It almost looks as bad as Rhyl has gone?! It actually upset me the last time I drove through Rhyl because we used to holiday down the road in Towyn and frequently went into Rhyl on the fairground etc and I had good memories of it, the decline is so bad I can’t believe the council has let it happen.
@@Eleventhearlofmars yeah used to holiday in Rhyl and prestatyn, is that the same now as well.
@@MichaelParkinson-wz1nh Prestatyn isn’t too bad actually but Rhyl is a proper ghost town. If I go to North wales now I’ll travel a bit further down the coast to Caernarfon or Pwhelli.
@@Eleventhearlofmars went to phwelli Butlins yrs back in my 20s thought it was a really nice place 👌💯.
@@MichaelParkinson-wz1nh yeah around that cardigan bay area is some spectacular scenery, that site that was butlins I think turned into a hoseasons site. edit: It didn’t have that many ho’s on it when I was there though!! 😂
The Proles are perfectly happy living in their ancestral squalor.
Morecambe is still a nice place. Bill should have visited 2 weeks ago, when it was ‘Vintage Weekend’ on a lovely sunny day. The town was vibrant, packed with fun loving tourists, classic car show, food stalls, pubs packed, a touring fairground for the children. These people would STILL have been where you chose to film, on their drink & drugs. Everyone can make choices in life… sadly some make the wrong ones.
yOU SAID THE SAME THING AS ME SOON AS I SAW THE BOAT,kEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
dont think we need to say any more we used to be great but now like you said its grim and its happening everywhere slowly but surely
I was in alexandra road last week delivering , police everywhere , group of drunks fighting. Mad.
Damn. That scottish woman was rough as toast ... Geez.
Most likely because life has dealt her a bad hand of cards. We don’t know what she has experienced in life so maybe we shouldn’t be too judgemental. x
she seemed bright to me
she put a smile on the others' faces
I live in Morecambe and never feel threatened walking past this group. I stop to chat and they are very friendly. Just lost souls with MH issues and addiction issues. The Scottish lady has schizophrenia.
@@Melynnest nice one I'm local and know all these, Paul, hobo the best, he's decent lad like u say just a bit lost, and there's usually another lass Netty who i went to school with, she was a stunner, but says a lot cos ppl are getting her an the scotch lass Linsey mixed up. ✌️😎.
I went to Morecombe weekend's to visit the awesome Empire club in the 90,s ...great times 🥁🎹🥺🕊
God the empire, I know I went but can't remember 😎👀.
@@MichaelParkinson-wz1nh lol yeah it was an all nighter..probs 1st in north ....there ,Wigan & Blackburn 👌🕊😉💊
@@chrisstones37 yeah it was a great night, I think, ha ha 😆✌️😎.
Billy lady in the sofa looks like she been in the ring with Mike Tyosn
a bullying gobshite on that evidence
Sad to see tho
Like Bill said sad too see but that little insight into her psycho bully mentality when the 1.30p got mentioned makes me wonder why she'd ever look like that 🤔🤣😂🤣
That's drink for you!
I used to live in morecambe in the west end just over 14 years ago and it was nothing like that, its a shame to see it so bad.. you actually filmed the alley way behind our old house
Nice to see Turkish barbers in literally every town in the country😅
Shoulda come 5 mins up the road to Heysham Billy, you'd of got a brew and a scran mate, wounded that i missed ya I'd of liked a chin wag mate, but fair play to you, this is the parts you need to be showing, THIS IS ENGLAND, horrible that West end innit Bill, ✌️.
👌🙌 next time 🕰️
@@theallornothingpodcastwith4442 it's a date, ha ha 🤣, and bring Terry next time, i would love to have a good chat wi yers, nice one though Billy which one offered y the best deal, linsie or Sue, ha ha ✌️.
Yeah Heysham is wicked, I remember my nan used to take us to a tea room up some steep steps😊 my aunt still lives in Morecambe but not in the west end. I’m a Londoner but used to love my walks down the prom to heysham, a couple of horses in the field. Say hello and then a joint next to an old upturned boat
@@antonyclement8871 must be going back, how long ago was that, I'm from Lancaster originally, but I've lived up here 18 years, and i love it, and I love that walk up and down the prom, going back a few months, i was walking my little chihuahua, just down past them horses, and Tyson Fury, comes joggin towards me with Isaac lowe another Morecambe pro boxer and his training partner, nxt thing my dog proper kicks off, and started going for Fury, and he just started laughing, and said cheeky little bastard, proper class moment, cos I didn't want to be flat packin him in front of his mate. Lol 😆😎✌️. Nice one mate 👌💯.
I always look on the brightside of life.
Piss heads on the streets doing no harm but they could learn to use a bin! They seem to enjoy themselves, just need somewhere warm and dry to go in winter.
Morecambe has fantastic sunsets, bags of character. Like going into an olde pirate town.. Where's Jack??
Shame you weren't able to show the beautiful mountains across the bay as it was a little hazy.
I just love the ocean. If it were inland it would be just another run down town..
Common seaside town scenes
Give Rhyl a visit Bill
Don’t know if you ever went when you were a kid but you’ll be shocked
Remember used to go on deliverys in the early 90s to barrow, morecambe, Blackpool, Carlisle etc all seemed nice places then
A lot of them seaside towns have gone shit ,really sad to see
It’s nice to know the tories will clean this are up and provide sheltered housing for the homeless if you beleive that there’s no hope for you god bless ‘em
I know it well mate I lived in the village for 13 years all the best mate 😎
I live 10 mins walk from Alexander road Bill, and this corner near the prom is the exception, Tyson Fury lives just 5 mins drive away, our street is quiet and no social issues evident, the main issues around where you filmed are highlighted really well by you , don’t know what research you’d done beforehand but if you want to see the better side of the town hit me up mate, I’ve lived here 39 years since moving from Bootle and I love it here lad
Well said there bro,✌️, i don't live far myself up in Heysham but pass through here all the time and know these people, it's a sad situation,👍.
Me too dude near Oxcliffe rd garage
@@andycreevy1 I'm up higher Heysham, love it up here, from Lancaster originally but been up here 17 years, top of smithy lane overlooking half moon bay, they filmed the TV programme right at the end of my street,👍✌️.
@@MichaelParkinson-wz1nh hi whats sandylands area like, balmoral road area, please
@@blacksunset-x1g sandylands is right on the prom, and is not far from Alexandra rd, but the further up towards Heysham is ok, but lovely views from sandylands, across the bay, thanks for your comments I've given you as much details as I can, but if there's anything else, I will let you know, and if you need anymore info, just ask,👌💯👍.
Our mates these😂 we’re over the road at the salon and they give us a laugh every day lol
This is GREAT Britain, Nothing much GREAT About it anymore I'm afraid. 💉💊🚽🔪🧟💔🤮☹️🇬🇧
Tyson should become Morecombe's leading property developer and build the country's biggest gambling casinos and get special status give Blackpool a run for its money.Show it how it's done.
@TriTr-qd2bd Manchester? Have they even done anything with it? It was supposed to rejuvenate Blackpool bringing investment into the local economy en masse.But the local council voted to encourage more tourism but highlighting the history and local traditions.So if Blackpool could not pick up the baton why not take it up the road to Morecombe.
I'd of thought if it was viable then they'd of already done it, they been supposed to be doing a northern Eden project here for yrs, god knows when, they been doing it for years, but like everything else, talk about for twenty years, before they even think about it. ✌️😎.
Yea cause more poverty with a mega casino , great idea
@@eddiebirch2067 Bring in high rollers like the ex Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and other billionaires.Where the billionaires go then millionaires will follow.
One of them outside the shop got done in with a machete last week bill. I was in the shop with my son
Hahaa I used to live at 109 alexandra road was that bad few years ago. Although was rough and neighbours above were nobheads
Just watched 3 billy vids on the trot, it was a pleasure 😊
🙌💙
You see. The vid of you on Scouse sit off bill??
My hometown. Lived on Marlborough road Glad to of escaped it
So sad great video billy thx for sharing 👍
morecambe, i think thats where Tyson Fury's gaff is
Yes, it is. You see him and Paris around from time to time. I had my photos taken with him in the Arndale shopping centre a few years ago 😅
WE WERE DOWN FOR FIVE DAYS VISIT A FEW YEARS AGO, WE LEFT AFTER FOUR DAYS, THE BEST THING ABOUT IT WAS THE ERIC MORECAMBE STATUE.
Even better than that is the road signs outta there. Lol 😆😎✌️.
This is the side of Morecambe that most visitors to the Eden Project won't see. It's a town that could and should be so much more, and it's scandalous that it has become a dumping ground.
They're not going to fix their problem sat there though.. should start a band or something. 😑
It's a shame Fury doesn't throw a load of his money into the place seeing as he likes it so much around there. We hear footballers doing the same thing to their communities back home but you never hear about it over here.
Great vid as always Billy.
From Morecambe myself i see them all the time 😂
I live in Heysham and I know all these, ✌️😎.
@@MichaelParkinson-wz1nh hi what part is balmoral road area come under and whats it like round there please?
Just caught your channel. Interesting video Billy.
Why aren't the government helping these areas.??
Alexandra rd is the ground zero of the westend . It is part of Morecambe but Morecambe is bigger than the West End . Its in a beautiful part of the country with beautiful views . Fair video of Alexandra Rd .
dear god i live here
I'm alright, i live in Heysham, it's a bit better. ✌️😎.
@@MichaelParkinson-wz1nh is balmoral road in heysham and whats that area like please
@@blacksunset-x1g Balmoral road, is in the west end, but it's a little bit away from here and not bad, that's were Heysham high school is, maybe that's why you ask, but it's definitely the best part, and it's on the way towards Heysham, if you're moving there, then don't worry, it's quiet, the antique fella, Paul Hayes, either still lives there, or as not long moved, and professional darts player, Dave, chizzy,chisnal lives just round the corner, Google them both.
Yes lad another great upload to us UA-cam viewers billy its mad to watch these guys bro i swear i would hate to be in there shoes mate i really wouldnt like it one bit bro it just showd don it how good we got it compared to others out there like that man, where js the council fr tbat erea man to come atound once a week cleaning their streets as they should man youd see a hell of a diffrence in 12/18 months Billy if they kept to some kind of a weekly duties like mkst villages or towns and cities eaven man that in itself would be a great idea and if theyd keep to it to man thanks again billy fir your daily uploads bro top man!.✨👑✨💯👌👌✨👍👍👍✨🏴✨
That's Lancaster city council for ya,💩.
All that was missing was tyson fury to stroll by and start singing with the bums like rocky Balboa 😂
It's never been that grim..
Even in 90s ime frome liverpool an we oways went ther it was lovely lovely peepols
i live on alexandra rd with my husband we are both suffering from long term health conditions and daren't sit out in our own front yard as thrase people are consently fighting amongest themseleves there is plenty of help in morecambe for addiction and we know this as our daughter is in recovery and no one is beyond help but they have to want the help we cant go the shop across the road due to being frightend etc
I grew up on Brunswick road, the first road to the right of where this was filmed. It's progressively got more deprived over the last 40 years
I lived there from birth to 23 years old (83 -2006) and the sad decline has only intensified
That was fuckin grim billy 😫
Billy again thank you for highlighting the north of England’s deprived areas, you should flip the coin and take your camera down to london near Stantead Airport, beautiful new council apartments nicely laid slab pavements I was working for 9 days at the excel exhibition centre near standstead after walking about the north south divide is apparent, it’s an absolute disgrace. Keep up the good work buddy, respect.
This makes me so sad.
Government should be helping these communities not the immigrants.
gov are twats
we could help both us and our neighbours if they werent dirty money-hungry pigs
We go to Morecambe at least once a year for the past four years in a families caravan. Love going to the Exchange Bar
Exchange is always busy when football’s on… cheap beer too!
Hi Billy, Thanks for your vid. There were actually places that you showed that looked fairly nice!. However were the homeless people were and a few of the back alleys looked untidy and horrible. It's sad to see those lost souls on the streets drinking!. To them drinking and sitting there on the Streets is normal and rationale, when most of us will see it as very sad and pathetic. It really is sad how they're living their lives on the fringes of mainstream society!. Anyway Billy, Thanks for your vid. John. 🥹👍
Unbelievable bill shocked 😲!!
since my gran passed away who lived in Morecambe, i dont visit anymore too depressing.
Wow, really sad 😔
The 1992 Rio earth summit explains all to the, " Cannon Fodder " unfortunately that populates the earth.
The speedboat made me 😂
Neglected our own, while arrivals men are put in 5 star hotels, with benefits.
is it still a popular tourist resort ?
Yes, on a nice day. The promenade is full at weekends because camper vans & motorhomes can park free.. some thing else the useless councillors have failed to capitalise on. They will bring back ‘Blobbyland’ next ! 😂
Billy you should go to Dundee for some footage il take you right into the boondocks😂
every day is like sunday
Very sad and depressing, especially seeing the group of alcoholic dropouts. Think there was mental health issues and probably onset Korsakoff Syndrome in the mix too.
It’s beyond words to explain how bad this country is declining and it’s the Tory government to blame. This general election can’t come soon enough in my opinion. I know the Labour Party isn’t like it used to be but surely it is impossible to do any worse of a job than the shower that we have had to suffer for the last 14 years.
I know all these ppl, the lad with the grey beard and hat is a really good lad, he's got a false leg, and he sleeps in an old cellar round the corner, but he's had quite a few places, he just can't look after himself i suppose, but always gi him a few quid if I've got it, i talk to him every time I'm down there, he's there every day, but he is the only one that's homeless the lassies r not, the Scots one is quite mouthy and she had a big shiner last week, but the little one is a really nice girl, and she was a very pretty girl when i first met her over fifteen years ago, 👌💯.
@@MichaelParkinson-wz1nh 👍❤️
The decline has been going on far longer than 14 years. Every single government since the 70's is responsible for what Britain has become. Labour and Conservative no difference.
@@PopularesVox you're right, i remember my parents, going on about Thatcher in the 80s, and we used to get milk given in the infants, and she put a stop to that, but u right about one thing, there all full of promises, until they get in power, and then it's about what's innit for them, they all have a place in London, and a big pile in the country, they don't care about us, little ppl, it's about making the rich, richer, and poor, poorer, ✌️.
Labour trash it and Tory try to pick up the pieces been the samd turn out fir years but it's time for reform uk now as a last ditch effort our borders are being invaded
