Should have said Bridle 🐴 not bridal way 👰‍♀️

I used to live in Marton and travel Radar Rd to get the kids to KEQMS school (Closed down now) I used to fold the mirror in. If that new road had been built sooner I wouldn't have moved.

Stephen you need to go down to fairhaven lake. It’s paradise down there. So big and open and geese everywhere. I went down on my bike for the first time in 3+ years and now I go down there every now and then because of how beautiful it is!

Used to drive the single track road 4 times a day for many years when I lived locally... so much fun, had a jeep at the time and bounced the bumps, wonderful memories.

I love Lytham St Ann's 😊thanks for sharing Stephen 👍

Cheers Stephen, I had to laugh when you said about the ditches at the side of the road, most of the roads around here are like that, very narrow and deep ditches on both sides, can be a little hair raising at times, especially after dark. You get used to reversing a lot around here as well as many of the roads have hedges right on the road edge and there aren't many places to pull in to let someone pass coming the other way, so reversing becomes second nature. Not a lot of fun when the roads are icy. 😂

I remember Radar Lane. A long long time ago my then boyfriend let me drive his car even though I couldn’t really drive. Needless to say we ended up in the ditch. 😂

I remember Radar road too, it used to end at the Shell garage on Heyhouses Lane…..great time flying down there at night 👍🏻 Cheers for the memories Stephen

YOU PASSED MY DOGS FAVOURITE POO BIN THIS MORNING.WENT OUT LATER IN THE DAY.LYTHAM AND BACK ON MY BIKE, ROUND TRIP GREAT.NICE BRIDLEWAY.JOB WELL DONE...AT LAST! NICE VID THANKS

Cool. I remember the road and sometimes wonder if the little western town with saloon, barbers, etc is still there.

Thank-you Stephen for this interesting and helpful vlog. Since your vlog on Lytham St. Annes we have started going to The Trawlers Boat in St Annes for our evening meal. Strangely about a year ago the Wetherspoons in Blackpool stopped selling steak but since your vlog we have found out that both Wetherspoons in Lytham and St. Annes sell steak! Anyway we've been using the Queensway route to get back to Progress Way then onto to Haven Marton Mere. We'll be investigating if this new route is an improvement for us. I think we know Blackpool better than Reading!!

Crikey, I can remember going "Across the Moss" when i was learning to drive. Very scary for a learner driver! 😂

Stephen. It must have been great driving on the new road. Knowing you weren't going to have to do ,evasive pothole maneuvers.👍

I enjoy your video's STEPHEN keep up the great work lot of things change last time it was 2015

Loved this video Stephen, thankyou. The road looks great. The houses were very very swanky 😅. I'd need a win on the Euros Millions for one of those😂😂😂😂😂❤

Hi Stephen. Thank you very much for letting us know what is going on in and around Blackpool. Your videos are always interesting. Hope that you have a great weekend 👍🥰❤️

Hi Stephen thank you for another great video as always what a lovely road to drive down love Lytham such a nice place have a great day xx

We will have no green land left in no time!😮

Thanks again for another informative vlog Stephen

Used to be many greenhouses this part of the Fylde . Mostly gone , I believe, unable to compete with subsidised Dutch tomatoes.

Great video Stephen and looking forward to the Les Dawson video 🎭

Thanks Stephen. Very good. Even went past our house. 🤗👍🏻🕸

Great Video Steve I Enjoyed It Fantastic Road Nice Area The Great Les Dawson Lived There He Was A Funny Man He Played Great Piano😮 Better Than Me😊 Have A Great Night😊

Hope Stephen is feeling better.. he does a great job.. sending support 🙏

I believe I drove on that road you’re talking about it was in my first car that was 2010 and land was bare ditches on either side of the road

very nice road les dawson old school sadly gone

Good addition Stephen

You had more success at the posh end of Lytham than me Stephen😂 Great drive about there sir, happy weekend Mr Blackpool

Looks beautiful down that exclusive lane. I guess quite a few northern celebrities have lived down there. Would be an interesting vlog.

Nice road and hardly any traffic.

Thanks for this video Stephen and I hope you are feeling better again. I'm lucky enough to have friends in Lytham and visit them a couple of times a year. Lovely area.

Another great Vlog looks like a good road should take some of the traffic away from others roads in the area. A road with output potholes nice. It's a shame that all these new housing estates are taking over such lovely green fields everywhere. They should keep towns in town and leave the countryside for people and animals to enjoy.

I had a drive along it today, very nice and smooth. It will certainly help clear some traffic off Queensway. I wonder how the residents of Cyprus Point will cope with the many lorries and extra traffic? Watch this space! Thanks Steve, another excellent vid - cheers.

Great video thank you for your hard work ❤️👍

Nice drive Stephen thanks 👍 x

Fantastic Video. Well Done.

It’s great to be back riding in the trusty StarBus!

I use to live on mereside and radar road was great to drive down. Brings back memories. I must be one of a few and say they should have left it the way it was. It was a rite of passage to drive down when we were kids. I miss Blackpool so much but glad I am out of the place.

Love the driving videos

Thanks for the video Stephen, hopefully this road will be a lot safer than the dirt track and ease the congestion elsewhere. Hate it when garden centres are closed for the land to have houses built on them. 😊😊😊

Thank you as always Stephen for another fantastic vlog

Nice one Stephen. Couldn’t help notice that all the cars driving along were high end cars🤔

Thank you for this video, Stephen. Good to see the improvements in my end of town. A long time since I've been down Radar Road and Cropper Road is vastly improved. Will go this way the next time I visit the Fylde Coast and make my first call to Lytham Kitchen for breakfast.

the Garden Place moved to a unit on the industrial estate in May - as per the map you show at 0.36. The cropper lane site has been sold for house building (some 50 units) and planning permission was granted in May. Original road plans were for a by pass all the way from Warton behind Lytham then St Annes but that never happened. Cropper Road had to be resurfaced given that the new link road is going to make it much busier. There was supposed to be money from Kensington from the Cypress Point development to contribute to the relief road which was planned years go but whether that happened or not, who knows. The old Radar Road was fun.... narrow and with potholes on the edge. I knackered a wheel once. And very busy. You should have done a circuit of not just Regent Road but Islay Road. Les Dawson was one the celebs that lived down there. Glad i saw this today as i have to go to St Annes this morning and didnt know it had opened!!!

Just been on Radar Road in my company van at 3am watching a Barn Owl hunting.

Thank you for sharing x

Stephen! Thanks for sharing this . I went on this road to see my mother in Lytham today. It took 10 minutes of my journey and was a mile and half less to travel. No queues or traffic lights!! It's great!!

Cropper Lane (Crapper lane if you knew it when it had farms on it) is where my mums caravan was sited years ago opposite where that garden centre was. been in that garden centre/nursery far too many times!! birds got in all the time too. they had a free roaming parrot and you had to be careful what you said because he picked words up 😛 it used to be awesome in the evenings because of all the bunny rabbits that used to run around the campsite area - in fact, my mums friend used to sit on her van doorstep and be so still, she'd have them coming up to her sniffing her ankles out. I'm going to hazzard a guess that the rabbits that have been seen around Blackpool are the ones from Cropper Lane that have been displaced due to all the work that's gone on there. my estimate puts those houses at at least 12 years - I know my mum got on well with the owners, stating he was thinking of selling up. well, he did! on a good day, we were treated to the Red Arrows flying in/out. is Blackpool Caravan Club still on the other end of Cropper Lane or have they sold up too?

It isn’t a radar station for the airport, it’s an autopilot beacon for the Civil Air authority which is used for all international air traffic

Great video Steve.

Thank you sir, another top video ….Smithy

Opposite the Radar Station entrance there is a lane that leads to ballam. Many years ago there was a pig farm on the corner as well.

Great Video Stephen keep up your amazing Videos and your hard work, thanks for all your videos

The Garden Place has moved to an industrial estate right around the corner. You wouldn't even know it was there. They're now opposite Andy Meatman butchers and next to Direct Windows. There's a great glasses shop across from them too! 👓

Hello Steve how are you love your vidio very interested best wishes take care stay safe xx ❤😅😅

summer has officially arrived in blackpool stephens got his yellow t-shirt on ☀️

What a good quick route. Cuts out the bottlenecks. Didnt realise that garden centre had gone. Not been round that way for ages. Good to bump into you last week in the Imperial car park after the Nigel Farage gig. Cheers Thea x

I give it a week before that lovely tarmac is dug up by a utility company leaving behind pot holes😂.

thanks Stephen for another great video

I just looked at the old road layout on Google Earth. The old road looks crazy. I wouldn’t have driven down that in the daytime.let alone at night.

Hi Stephen thanks for another great informative video hope you feeling better 😊

Enjoyed the video stephen. thank u 😊

When I came to Blackpool last week, I got directed off the M55 down the new road. I didn't have a clue where I was until I saw Farmfoods in Waterloo Roads 😂😂😅😅

Great interesting video, I wonder why not been classified as a b road perhaps , as it’s a main link road. Regards mark

It may be safer but nowhere near as much fun as the old moss road. Lost the odd wing mirror over the years. Good times.

A map would be good 👍

My mum used to live in lytham st annes

It's taken 28 plus years to build, most of Dubai has been built in that time lol 😁

Les dawsons house would be a great watch

Watching from Canada, Woodstock Ontario ... nice video.. Alan.

A bit jealous, we don't do infrastructure upgrades in Scotland.

Hi Stephen

Could you do a video on the new housing estate where Pontins used to be in Lytham as used to go there on holiday as a kid and had fond memories. Would be interested to see what it is like now.

"Radar Road" has NOT been closed for ten years. Nowt like it! Ok, the stretch that runs up to Whitehall Road/School Road has been shut for a while as it collapsed away completely

Good video but I'm worried about the impact on the swans babies wildlife that habitat near by...

Hi Steven lm coming to backpool next Wednesday Thursday Friday will you be out and about I would love to meet you😊

Hi Stephen thanks for the drive on the new link road, how long did it take to construct and how much did it cost ? Until the next one, don't forget to vote for change on July the 4th

nice video... so when are you going to ride your bike down the road?

What's the most interesting or best pub you would recommend in Blackpool Steve? Growing up and living in Manchester, Blackpool has always been a frequent visit for most of us

Hope your alternator didn't cost too much

Is that the old Baguleys garden centre?

Posh street lights 🤔
