The biggest problem in Blackpool is that they are thriving on a tower that was built in 1891 the council are bloody useless all they care about is the prom half of the hotels are not viable anymore so want turning in to reasonable housing knock all the crap buildings down or make the owners smartened them up it's a crying shame Central drive in the eighties was a lovely place now look at it

It is quite a few years back now, when my wife and I attended the Baptist assembly in Blackpool. We and several other people went out to walk the back streets armed with cake bars and some blank cards. We were offering cake and an opportunity for people to make a prayer request on a card. This went well, with more people wanting prayer requests, than cake. Then we spotted a handbag on the path. We picked it up and it looked like it still had all its contents. So next stop was to find the police station. We asked the people we met, (still handing out cake bars and taking prayer requests) and eventually got there, where we reported finding the bag, and offered cake and received prayer requests. We were a bit late back as a result of all this, but with a story to tell.

Depends where you go in Spain. But Benidorm is a complete dump now. Full of drunks causing trouble and booze. All inclusive hotel food is cheap sloppy crap now as hotels cut costs. Bars and cafes are closing because the EU banned Brits staying more than 90 days and Brits aren’t allowed to work in Spain, so they left their apartments and caravans and went home. Nobody to support the bars & cafes off season and can’t employ Brits. So they close down. Benidorm is becoming just like Blackpool, crime, street scams etc. But to be fair Blackpool offered more than Benidorm, there were decent shows, wax works, museums, the tower, tower ball room. Decent tasty hotel food. Not like the trash served up in all inclusive hotels. Benidorm offers far less, yes it’s sunny but very few water sports like you’d expect in a Mediterranean resort, only places to get drunk. Soon you’ll need Etias visas to visit Spain, proof of finances, return ticket etc all coming soon so more queues and stress in airports and no doubt fewer and fewer Brits will go to Benidorm. Id avoid holidays in EU countries now for those reasons. Maybe with that Blackpool will make a comeback.

Benidorm I found to be very rough more like a council estate with palm trees. Vomit and urine stains on the pavement, swearing, drunken violence, muggings etc. I agree however Benidorm is not the real Spain and it’s very unfair to judge Spain on what people see in Benidorm.

I spent the first 7 years of my life in Blackpool, born there, i remember going down the sea front holding my nanas hand ❤, it was a lot different back then, it was a good place,its a drastic shame what has happened to Blackpool, great video mate i really enjoyed it❤ 🇬🇧

I last visited Blackpool about 5 years ago and was shocked. The promenade was heaving with tourists but they were constantly pestered by "traders" selling flashing toys, balloons, hats, cheap rubbish toys. Then the horse and carriage riders were charging up and down the road. We saw horses slipping, falling banging into other carriages, cars doing emergency stops due to reckless disregard for the highway code by the carriage operators. It was pandemonium. Then we decided to buy passes for Tusauds, the tower, dungeon, pleasure beach and sea life. And it was extortionate. Ended up not going to Tusauds, dungeon or sealife. Couldn't afford it. We could've gone to Spain for less money, same chaotic atmosphere but with better weather.

Sad seeing blackpool, post covid. I was only there 1 time for a week vacation with my niece, while i was home visiting family in glasgow, Scotland from Detroit, Michigan, US. It's such a shame. When we were there, stayed in one of the hotels on the waterfront, all inclusive . Best times of our life's, we loved it. Keep the videos rolling, You've got a new sub watching from Detroit, Michigan. Native from glasgow..❤

I was in Blackpool last weekend, stayed in a Travelodge by the the football ground. Even on the front the buildings looked tatty but the streets were some of the cleanest I've seen. All the locals we met seemed freindly, Me and me mates are not into sports bars so we didn't have a lot of choice pub wise, but we did find a couple that had a nice freindly atmosphere.

Shame lytham road isnt what it used to be though.

I was there with the wife and kids for a few days in the summer 2019. We enjoyed it but did see some of the back streets, they were an eye opener. Was there with a mate many years ago, had car trouble so stopped off on a Sunday night in February. Went out for food, found a nice Italian then found a busy bar that looked nice. We had one drink then left at the advice of the barman, he said it was really a locals only pub and a pair of Scots might find ourselves in trouble even though we were both over 6ft and well built. We headed back to our hotel, got up the next morning to find all four tyres on the car slashed.

As a resident I rarely went anywhere near the promenade and lived in a residential part of south shore. I am saddened to see what it has now become

I went for a day trip in 2022 and 2023 and little children were ordering their parents around right, left and centre, it was like a scene from the film 1984. The stag and hens don't need to go to Blackpool anymore either.

I'm absolutely disgusted with how this place has been left to decay over the years in fact it's heartbreaking to see such a vibrant town turn into a squalid hole. The council have spent ridiculous amounts of money on the town center promenade and let the rest of the town fall apart. Shame on you , they should be made accountable for this mess .

Unfortunately it's the owners of these now vacant, derelict once thriving shops etc. that have abandoned them.
