8 06 the run down buildings need bought by council and raised to ground Perhaps some new housing 16 flats in there , CCTV entry system mixed use works well in town centres it helps keep crime down as people tend to report anything going on is the logic. The larger job centre building could be turned into decent flats also. Perhaps Council could partner kickstart with P2P property lenders to fund the project.

My goodness it’s banging and busy like the young farmers night, all those clubs and bars for a Saturday night. Lots of beer monsters around. Yes that Talbot Rd left turn is going to catch a few out eventually. The North Station foot tunnel looks good now but how long will it last before graffiti and beer monsters taking refuge. It’s banging in Blackpool Stephen.

Another excellent video Stephen. I remember Talbot Road Bus Station well. The floor was always running with water, oil and diesel - even on dry days. I remember the lead councillor describing the bus station, with its walkways that were also bus ways, as being "so dangerous that it is actually safe" implying that people had to hae their wits about them to navigate it safely. Keep up the good work sir.

Thanks for the video Stephen, love the cap with "Walk on the wild side" on the side. Wouldn't walk through North train centre tunnel at night it has the potential of being very risky. Tower looks beautiful lit in those colours adore Blackpool tower and it's ever changing colours. The sea roaring is such a relaxing sound to hear wouldn't like to be out on it though, totally different matter. Sorry to hear about Papas hope no one was injured. Hope you go into Turtle Bay so we can all have a bit of a nosy.😊😊😊

The Job Centre site was Christ Church Blackpool. I went there in November 1976 as organist and choirmaster at the tender age of 18. There, I met my future wife, Christine, and 48 years later, we have been married 43 years. We were sad to see the church condemned due to rampant dry rot and the church moved to All Saints on Palatine Road becoming Christ Church with All Saints, Blackpool. We were married there in 1981 but, sadly, that has also closed due to maintenance issues. Michael@KZfaq Podbaba Transport.
