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.

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👍

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.

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.

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.

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.

thank you for putting this up mr macmaster it all helps with people like me as im on holiday in blackpool for the week next week.

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

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

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.

Thanks for keeping Blackpool on the map

You need to try the blue fin fish bar in Skegness.beautiful fish and chips,great video.

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

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

Most people who are offended either aren’t British or have had a labotemy ❤

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.

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.

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

Too many snowflakes ruining comedy for the rest of us. Was in the office today and educating one of the young apprentices in the League of Gentlemen. One of the first adverts the BBC aired was: "He's looking for a boy." "Poofter eh?" Can you imagine the meltdown theyd have now if they aired that today?

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

In the early 70s Lee, you could walk around the pleasure beach till late in the night. I remember walking around the seafront at midnight with my mom and dad then. Now me my wife and daughter and son would have to pay nearly £200 a day for the pleasure, sorry there is no pleasure in the beach anymore. Plus nearly £70 for your fish and chips meal. Love Blackpool great memories but not what it was in terms of value. Enjoy your vlogs though.

The great late George Segal. Roller-coaster

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

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.

I remember when you could just walk around the pleasure beach

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

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

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

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

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

Marvelous video, many thanks ;)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Blackpool now is blessed with bollards of peace.

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

You should try silcocks fish and chips as there’s one in Blackpool as well as Southport same with huge arcades

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.

That fish looks lush mate 👌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

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.

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 😊😊

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

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

I dread to think what's in the £1 burgers!!!! 🤮

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.

The sound editing on the carpet is incredible Lee 😊

Yes years ago pleasure beach you could walk straight in .

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.

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

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.

Blackpool looks very sad & rundown now. 🙁

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

A great fun video, Lee 😂👍👍

As kids we loved walking round the pleasure beach its a rip now to walk round my dad usevto love in Blackpool in the 70s and 80s painting the tower now health and safety back then my friend got the golden sands in gynn avenue pet friendly B&B we cone to.blackpool a lot my partner kevin as been all around the world never been to Blackpool till we went for a weekend ge can not stand up asvwe do come up alot lol love your videos

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.

Sorry but as someone from Yorkshire I personally won’t step foot in a chippy that sells Kebabs or anything but Fish and chips

Great vlog macmaster nice to see chris higgitt and mr candy

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

I visited Blackpool one day, it was closed

ramsdens when it was good was menston near guisely leeds mate, not skipton

Great video

There’s nothing best about it 😂 u could have gone onto Margate, Deal etc after leaving Dover

Ketchup should be an absolute no-no on fish and chips......!!!!!

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 😅👍

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

Went the 1 pound burger man last weekend.. Absolutely disgusting yes only a pound but it was horrible

Mother Hubbard in Leeds is top notch

Good Evening Lee. It was so Lovely to see Chris and the absolute Salt of the Earth people, that were cueing up at his Burger Bar for his Signature £ 1 pound Burger. It was Great seeing the Comedy Carpet with those Famous Comedy lines from the Stars of Long ago. To True, You are Not allowed to say or do what you want to do now. I say, Come on Let get rid of this Silly PC Rubbish. Bring back the Good Old days. We all should have a Good Laugh and just Enjoy ourselves again. What a Joy, it was Lee to see those Beautiful Naughty but Nice Post cards. There is nothing wrong with some Innuendo these days, just be Happy and put a Smile on peoples faces again. The Perfectly cooked Fish & Chips from this Incredible Establishment. Excellent Customer Service with a Smile and a Warm Welcome to the Customer. Very Good value for Your money. Thank you for Sharing Lee. 10++/10.

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

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

I reckon Stephen's had enough of being your stooge & sacked you off 😂 I always feel sorry for him on your videos 😫

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 🥰🥳🎉🎊

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?

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

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

George Segal? (Yes, I'm as old as you, Lee!)

An interesting trip to Blackpool, and what looked like great fish and chips. But Tomato Ketchup . . . Really! As you often say - that is just so WRONG! But I guess it's each to their own. 😋

That was a great video thanks Lee

Your chip butty has everything in it but the kitchen sink. Surprised you didn't bring it over to the candy story for a squirt of Mr. Whippy! LOLL!

Have ‘Rollercoaster’ on DVD, great film. George Segal, Timothy Bottoms and a very young Helen Hunt.

its a dump !

codfarther is good for fish and chips. the batter is a little bit different to normal. Youve coverd some miles there walking from one end of blackpool to the other.

I think the pound burger is to draw the punters in to play on the gaming machines.

Them doughnuts and ice cream looked lovely who would of thought that . they both went together what a game changer .. I enjoyed that vlog as well xxx❤x
