In my youth the mods would arrive on vespas clad in parka jackets. We would have all nighters on the beach after spilling out from the Brief Encounter which opened till the early hours, a coffee bar down chip alley. The Chuck Wagon and the Lion were our haunts listening to Tamla Motown. Sometimes we would hitch hike to the Gliderdrome Boston to dance to top live bands like Emerson Lake and Palmer, Ginger Bakers Airforce and more. The Tower Gardens had a great illumination, a blue Smurf, but they took it away causing my young son to cry and cry. Skegness was lovely. Its no longer recognisable to me.

Skegvegas, Ingoldmells and the rest of the east coast seem to have vastly increased the number of caravans since I was there. Is this a sign of the agenda of stopping us travelling abroad/long distances? Newquay, where I had my best family hols, has increased self catering apartments, etc. Holidays at home is making a return.

Great seeing Skegness at night time, will be different again get holiday season here, and Kicking Off in full swing, With Skeg having so many caravan sites a lot of nightlife happens in the clubs / bars on site or Ingoldmells just down Roman Bank two miles.

It’s good to see good old Skeggy is busy in the off season and so well lit at night. If there’s one thing I hope you take away from your visit Stephen is that you don’t need to be a large or wealthy place to have lots of trees, something that Blackpool is shamefully so lacking in and needs a severe rethink about!
@uk-martin49055 ай бұрын
There is no point in thinking about it. As any gardener will tell you, it is a fact that trees and flowers cannot survive in Blackpool's windy, salt-laden atmosphere and no plant has yet been invented that is able to do so. Even the grass the council put down when the Promenade was remodelled virtually all perished within a year. If you want greenery, look elsewhere - just as I did....
@improvesheffield48245 ай бұрын
@@uk-martin4905 nonsense!!! There are plenty of plants that have evolved to live by the coast and can easily deal with strong, salt laden winds. All there needs to be is the knowledge to plant the right plants that will thrive in that environment and the political will to do it! And we're not just talking about the sea front: there are already a small number of trees in the backstreets already just a few yards from the promenade. There simply needs to be a lot more planted where they're already thriving, so please take your ignorant comments somewhere else please - you're not helping!
