I can confirm that when i went to the pleasure beach in the early 70's entry was free, they made enough on the rides and candy floss ! Blackpool looks deserted, a far cry from the days you coudn't move and it took ages to make your way down the prom. Why people go to Spain for a holiday beats me, Blackpool has it all without it been too hot!

Lived in Blackpool in the 90s for 7 years use to walk round the Pleasure Beach for free, the whole place has changed for the worst.

I remember old man Thompson who built the pleasure beach was dead against charging an admission fee after Walt Disney who visited the place suggested it. His son carried on the tradition, but when he passed away his kids immediately changed things. Its not a patch on how it used to be. We had lots of fun with my three kids visiting the place, but couldn't do it with our 5 grandkids. Far too expensive.

Yes, I remember around 1970 ish we went to the pleasure beach when you could just walk around I think you could buy a ticket at a kiosk for any rides etc, so we just spent all afternoon in the fun house, that massive slide in the middle was awesome as a 10/11 year old also it did not cost Mum and Dad too much either😆

I love Blackpool and always will. There's just something very special about it.

Making comments, is very difficult when you are my age (80) We went to school aged 4 and every Monday you took a penny to buy a picture of a coloured child in Africa, along with the tag's save a Brown boy etc Then you went to town and every other shop had a model of a child outside in callipers which was a cash collection box and a sign saying pay to help Spastics, A well known actor (Brian Rix) used to perform and drop his trousers on stage to support the Spastics Now after 80 years it is difficult to wipe the brain and be alert not to use the language you have used all these years

Thanks for keeping Blackpool on the map

Yes I remember walking around the pleasure beach for nothing then were the days great video lee thx for sharing👍

Blimey where was everyone!….. I know it was a bit gloomy but the place looked empty…. I can remember going there in the 70’s when I was a kid and it was packed!….

Loved the fun house on the pleasure beach as a kid before it burnt down. You're right about being able to walk around it as well.

Trauma towers was the most memorable for me, Bone shaking wild mouse ride and Noah’s ark too 😅 they got rid of the fun stuff in place of bigger thrill seeker rides.

@johncollier7744

Took my grandkids for the first time last year since the admission charges were introduced. Now they’re older at least they get value for money being able to go on all the rides. They did all the new fancy thrill seeking rides, but their favourites were the old Big Dipper and The Grand National. They admired the rickety ride rather than the smooth slick ones. I think they would have loved the Mad Mouse and The Fun House. Just shows the multi million pound rides don’t always provide the best experience.

I have great childhood memories of going to Blackpool Pontins in the 70's. Yes you could walk around the Pleasure beach for free.

Marvelous video, many thanks ;)

Just caught up with your Blackpool visit. Another lovely video Lee.

Many years ago, I went to the original Harry Ramsden's in Guiseley. It was fantastic - the waitresses were dressed in traditional black and white uniforms, there were glass chandeliers from the ceiling and the fish and chips were cooked in beef dripping. In the corner of the massive car park was a wooden shed where Harry started the business. Alas, now long gone.

In the past life was about having fun Now life is about being offended

I have to agree with you Lee. Too many people get offended for nothing. People have to have thicker skin. I returned to England 2004 but left 2008. The England I once knew and loved was gone. Cameras everywhere and freedoms gone.

Great vlog Lee,the original Harry Ramsdens was in Guiseley opposite the White Cross pub not far from the airport. We are planning on a night over in Blackpool soon so ill ckeck out the Yorkshire chippy while we are there.

The chippy staff looking at you suspicious like🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Nice one Lee great fun .

Mother Hubbard's was indeed opened in Bradford near Morrisons on Ingleby Road, Girlington, around early 1970's, Hilda and Stan Ogden from Coronation street opened the restaurant and a standard fish and chips was under 50p or 10 bob back in the day😆 Gaz Yorkshire.

A great fun video, Lee 😂👍👍

I visited the comedy carpet last year when I went to Blackpool. It always a highlight of my trip there.

Harry Ramsdens was in Guiseley on the roundabout. It was once the biggest chippy in the world i believe

Thanks again for the video from Blackpool a nice seaside resort to visit. For me rather than Fish and Chips I would prefer to go up the tower it's less Fattening. Pleased you met your many friends there again.Regards Keith x

The great late George Segal. Roller-coaster

I remember when you could just walk around the pleasure beach

My husband and myself went to Blackpool last October for 3 days for our honeymoon and we really enjoyed it. We went to C Fresh chippy and it was amazing im really fussy with chippy chips but the chips were really tasty. Hoping to go back next year or the year after and maybe for abit longer this time

Outside Neo's, did you notice the number plate on the vauxhall? 😂

Hi Lee, the actor in Roller coaster was George Segal, from Mark in South Wales.

Richard Widmark. Some of the film was made at King’s Dominion park in Virginia. I preformed in a show there that summer and actually auditioned for a small part. One of my mates got to play one of the FBI agents! Peace.

Brilliant video Lee 👌🏻

@abbyhorton5587

Ай бұрын

I was thinking the exact same!!

I don't know about Blackpool, but our local amusement park was open - anyone could enter and you just bought tickets for the rides. I think the idea was that once you entered, you would be tempted by the rides and buy tickets, But then, there were some incidents with not-so-nice people getting into fights and scaring people away, so a small admission charge was added to discourage them. Now, it is a big admission charge and you still have to buy ride tickets. In the past, some adults just went to watch their kids who went on the rides. Now, everyone has to pay (rider or not) and that makes it much more expensive.

Blackpool pleasure beach, if you don't pre book your tickets and just pay on the gate,an adult is £50 !!! (How Much)

Cooked in Beef Dripping right? Much better than the toxic seed oils.

That fish looks lush mate 👌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I tried Harry Ramsden in Skeg once. They had run out of battered sausages! I was not impressed already when the chips arrived. I don't understand the hype.

Yes you could walk around the pleasure beach, I use to cut through after ice skating and have a quick go on the log flume, apparently the pleasure Beach isn't doing so well, I think the prices are too high, it's putting people off going

Hey…600, great vlog Lee 👍

Cracking video … Lee … not sure I could handle the do- nuts … looked gorgeous though … 👏🙂👏

I visited Blackpool one day, it was closed

First visited the Yorkshire Fisheries in the 1970s, everytime we came for our family holiday in Leapold Grove holiday flats it was our treat😎

Hollywood stars signatures , hot doughnuts 🍩 and ice cream 🍦. What more could we ask for ?!?!?😅

hi lee. the pleasure beach had open access until around 2008 then they sealed it and you had to pay five quid to enter. a mate of mine, sadly now dead, worked in the treasury dept. he said a month after the charge started they laid off half the security staff. the charge stopped druggies, drug dealers, vandals , feral street kids, pickpockets, thieves , handbag thieves etc. from going in and security had little to do.

Nice One Lee .

Great vlog , when you said donut or icecream I said to Steve donut and icecream together . Can't believe you've never tried it before been having that from Blackpool for years. And I don't have sugar in tea, but I do in Blackpool got to have a bit of sugaring my tea with my fish and chips 😊

There is a nice fish n chips in Blackpool called `The Sea fisheries` directly over road from Central Pier should give them a try if you haven`t already done so

Awww been waiting for a Mcmaster Blackpool vlog for ages yeeey

We went into that Harry Ramsdens years ago, we saw the prices and then left 😂

In our local Wimpey bar, donut & ice cream was called a Brown Derby

I hate having fish n chips in a restaurant setting because they taste like what you could make at home. There is something about having it salt and vinegared for you and then wrapped in paper and left for a ten min car journey that gives it all the flavour.
