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.

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.

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

Thanks for the shoutout pal. I was working my ass off doing a proper job that day lol 😂

Marvelous video, many thanks ;)

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!….

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

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

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

That was a great video thanks Lee

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.

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

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.

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

Thanks for keeping Blackpool on the map

A great fun video, Lee 😂👍👍

Thanks for sharing lee😊😊

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.

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.

Nice vlog Lee. It you have done it again 😂😂 I am only 7 miles away 👍👍🍺🍺🍺🍺

Nice to meet you there, nice to see a local in Blackpool! Mansfield massive!🙂

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

Saw you filming this on Monday . I was just enjoying my spoons curry in Velvet coaster. !!!!

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.

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

Great video lee, i love Blackpool, a lot of happy memories from there. fish and chips looked yummy and the donuts and ice cream extra yummy. nothing beets freshly cooked donuts 😊😊

Slipping in and out off Sarah's back door pmsl 😂😂😂

Lee, you missed the big news, the new tram service is opening to Blackpool North Railway Station, next week I think.

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

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.

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

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

Yes your right you used to be able to walk around pleasure beach park, haven't been since they changed it.

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

I remember when you could just walk around the pleasure beach

Brilliant video Lee 👌🏻

Brilliant Lee im not able to go this year first year ive missed in the last 6 yeah that ice cream is amazing but never did the donut combo i bet it was brilliant i will miss it big time this year, but onwards my friend.

Harry Ramsdens always said they made their own chips,but I worked for mccain foods and we produced chilled chips for them.

Sorry Lee, Mr Whippy and ice cream don't belong in the same sentence!

Really enjoyed the vlog Lee

Great video

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

Great Video Lee

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.

The great late George Segal. Roller-coaster

great vlog lee, agree about not being able to say anything these days , now im going to watch LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR, controveversial , lol

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

The sound editing on the carpet is incredible Lee 😊

yes you could i worked at pontins in the 70s we always went around the pleasure beach with out paying ,its a resort now i think,h ramsdens was from guiseley

Great vlog macmaster nice to see chris higgitt and mr candy

I've never fancied Blackpool , they say it's Benidorm in the rain. I really feel that had to be said lol.

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.

Great video Lee. Good to see Iron Maiden fan too 😀.

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

Also, love the way you recall the salt shaker from your parent's. Your mum seemed like a lovely person, Lee 🙂

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

enjoyed you're vlog Lee food looked great donuts & ice cream 👍👍👍👍 got to be a 10

Harry Ramsden there was one in guiseley outside of Leeds but its now the Wetherby whaler

At 9:05 mins in the background You can see one of the best Ice cream places in Blackpool. Notarianni. 🙂

Yeah, you had used to be able to walk around the Pleasure Beach free of charge but they started going for paid admission around twenty years ago.

How come you aren't like 25 stone with the amount of fish & chips white bread and curry sauce you eat 😂

Awww been waiting for a Mcmaster Blackpool vlog for ages yeeey

Yes years ago pleasure beach you could walk straight in .

Hey…600, great vlog Lee 👍

Didn’t look like the staff were keen on you filming with you fish and chips 😂

WHENEVER VISITING A NEW PLACE IT IS BEST TO HAVE AN ICE-BREAKER ''WHICH LOCAL LOOKS MOST LIKE HITLER AROUND HERE???''

Another great video. I am glad you clarified your little admission about going in and out of the back door at Sarah's. It's a family channel after all!

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 😊

That fish looks lush mate 👌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Last time I was in Blackpool was last year for the air show in August.Highly recommend and it's free! When looking for a chippy everywhere was heaving apart from.... Harry Ramsdens it put me off going in wondering whats gone wrong?

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

Mother hubbards used to be fantastic back in the day when I was a nipper, was started up on Ingleby Road in Bradford. There was a restaurant (if you was posh, from Bradford posh?!? 😜) or the takeaway / concervatory area. Now it’s absolutely awful wouldn’t go anywhere near it or any of its franchises.

Wait...what no Monkeys ? When I was a child they used to have them at the beach

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

Was there 60 years ago for the lights from down south remember the fish & chips, now live in NZ can’t get close to UK fish & chips never mind, great video brings back memories

Grest vlog Lee looks good fish & chips 👍

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

We visited Blackpool last month and it's so rundown. I think its had it's day. Skegness is the place to be now 👍

I went to Blackpool pleasure beach when the Pepsi max roller coaster was new it was free entry. You brought an arm band to go on the rides. I think it was £10.

Here's the comment you predicted you'd get reg. the Benidorm reference...... ..... Bloody hilarious!! Haha that tickled me that. Also, Lee.. I'll be honest, I'm not a big fish and chips eater but watching your videos always makes me want some haha

That looked mouth wateringly amazing! 😋😋😋 I am soooo jealous: and whenever I get the chance, I'm gonna have that delicious double whammy of Mr. Whippy and donuts recreated! Well done you for promoting a beautiful English seaside town 🥰🥳🎉🎊

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

They never used to charge entry for Pleasure Beach, when did that start?

Loved it when you were being watched by the blonde waitress in the Chip Shop when you were making your fish sandwich lol.

Nice One Lee .

Great to see you back in Blackpool again

A interesting Blackpool video Lee, i must try a coupla doughnuts with a squirt of Mr Whippy ice cream soon 😋 Au

Brilliant style of video. Please do the same in great Yarmouth and Southend-on-Sea

The original Harry Ramsdens was in Guiseley, right on the roundabout. It's still there but I think it's a Weatherby whaler now. The famous chippy in Skipton is Bizzie Lizzie's

I visited Blackpool one day, it was closed

Had to laugh Lee. The girls behind the counter seemed mesmerised at you eating. Looks great in that fish and chip cafe.

Can't believe you didn't notice the registration number on the white car when you stood outside of Leo's chippy which was closed down 😅👍

Brilliant vlog

Those cut glass vinegar bottles always remind me of when I worked in a hospital and one old man came in with one (the slimmer type) stuck in his colon. His excuse was that he'd climbed a step ladder while naked to re-attach a curtain ring, slipped and fell on the bottle. My advice to anyone going into hospital with an embarrassing problem is to just be honest because staff know exactly what you've been up to. No one really bats an eyelid until you start making up excuses. He ended up being sent to the surgical ward. So Lee, don't be tempted by those vinegar bottles.

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

In Blackpool we went to the Winter Gardens in 1979. Me, my wife, Mam and Dad (both gone. RIP.). We saw Frank Carspn + Little & Large. Dad was crying at the fun.

Love Blackpool and Love watching you mate ❤

Harry Ramsdens started in Guisley nr Leeds, the latest restaurant and takeaway they built is still in use today but is now Wetherby Whaler.
