Family cine film catching some interesting scenes. Please try in HQ as the 4:3 screen size is restored and I would hate you to think everyone was fat in 1960.

I live in Blackpool and I m proud of were I live, yes its does have its problems but then again what town doesnt. Blackpool is a fun place to live the only people who spoil it are the tourists who just come crap on the town and leave!! I mean how woukd you like it if we came to your towns and pissed on them. Their are still good areas in Blackpool and this town has a future.

Born & bred in pool , & this is a top vid of how it was, but the comment to many "smackheads" etc winds me up, 1 How do you know they where as you put it "smackheads"? 2, 99% of blackpools problems either pissheads or junkies are from out of town scum coming here to the "Bright lights of blackpool" thinking a new start with sort them out & get em off the junk/drink now if all of those did one, maybe the town would be better? (& i dont mean the holiday makers) Blackpools bread & butter!

I'll admit im not from Blackpool (I'm from down the road in Burnley), but i have been going to this place since birth and i still get really excited when i see the tower on the motorway and im on the piers eating candy floss, its just happy times all the way when im there. I'm doing Blackpool for my essay at uni and will look at the bright future it has ahead of them, and its been nice to look at these video's for research.
thanks for uploading :-)

@groovychiken My parents/in-laws/grandparents were from Bury, Bolton, Great Harwood etc. and they all went to Blackpool every year on Wakes Weeks. I'm sure you know all this for your essay, but it's nice that a young person sees a bright future for the place!

I lived in St Annes from !966 to 1993. Blackpool had the best shopping thro' the 70's & 80's and, I agree, got shoddy from then on. I used to do gigs all over the area but I hear live music has all but dried up now.
