Kiss me quick Blackpool. by happypat

Kiss me quick Blackpool.

I have shown you the new improved Blackpool, well here is the old Blackpool that most people find more familiar!
Rather seedier further back into the town with more pound shops, bingo & night clubs.
As you can see they are still improving Blackpool Tower.

Might be a bit lax tonight with commenting as we have family from NZ here so lots to talk about.

Just as I remember it. :) Enjoy the evening with the family!

What an interesting outline here Pat - so many different shapes. Enjoy your visitors.

Oh yes - are there still arcades with shove the 10p off the edge games around there? My mum would never let us go in these places but her cousin Ann used to take us to Blackpool occasionally and let us do all of the 'naughty' things. We much preferred going with Ann of course!

@redrucksack @murnane @judithg I should do more of the down market photos of Blackpool, they are more interesting than the cosmetically good ones. The visitors have given in & gone to bed !!

Fun shot! Have a delightful time with your family, Pat! Is your little grandson among the NZ visitors??

I love to see your Blackpool shots, they always jog my memory. I see the tower is having a spruce up, nice shot.
