    The growing popularity of air b&b's and the big hotel chains moving in has finished off the small hotels in my opinion. People now expect big tv's and fancy decor instead of just a bed for the night.

    Great video, so sad to see how it’s went downhill, package holidays and cheaper flights have continued to this

    I guess Blackpool continues its transition. Many happy memories of those boarding houses in the 70’s and 80’s and enjoying the delights of Lewis’s, Binns and Woolworth – maybe not Pricebusters. But it is good that you have recorded the positives as well as the transitions to a brighter future for Blackpool

    Another brilliant video Paul and great walkabout. Good news about Yates lets hope they renovate and make it a success. Also i agree why not make flats for all our poor homeless people.Take care

    I did post a comment last night but can't find it. That happened to me with another comment i posted on another channel I watch.
    It's great that that someone has bought the Yates building. Good to that the building is listed. Gives it some protection with it being art deco streamline.
    I think that the package holiday did have a knock on effect to Blackpool and other seaside towns which were thriving at one time.
    I wonder too with the older established hotels if people these days prefer more modern accommodation like the Holiday Inn, Travelodge Premier Inn etc? I wonder if they do more trade than the older hotels?

    Its just not a Holiday Town now, shame!

    They all need to be a Five Star standard not back street dumps when will they learn, Some are like they were 50years ago I lived there then.

    Great video,
    I can remember when Yates in South shore used to be called the darlings discob,
    Thats going back a few year ago,
    I think I've got a photo off it

    Hi Paul loved the video,it looks a beautiful day in Blackpool I bet it's not so warm there though,our Town Centre is really dismal especially in the old town just about all the shops are left empty and neglected it's not a very nice sight, I've no answer to your question I wish I had take care and thanks for the video ❤

    Hi Paul interesting video. I don't think the Henderson is open. I walk past quite often and never seen any signs of life.

    Coming soon and insurance job yates

    Great video. I stay in Blackpool quite often. Always in a decent hotel. I think one of the problems that puts people off Blackpool guest houses/ B&B's is the sheer neglect at the back of these places. I always take a room with a sea view or a suite if available. But many end up with a room at the rear of the building & one look out of the window at the rear with a view of what resembles a tip & walls with peeling paint & rendering just isn't pleasing on the eye.

    Hamptons by Hilton replacing the old Palm Beach hotel site. Now extended to cover the full site with obviously far more bedrooms. Not long before the delaphidated ones on the side approaching Hamptons by Hilton, to be flattened and replaced. Also the site owned by Malaysian Fragrance Hotel Group. The same one that one those three skyscrapers holding up a ship like structure. 5 or 7 star like Al Baroujj in Dubai. Yeah from £5000 per night.. Hardly Mayfair 😂

    As I said earlier, sadly nobody cares for Britain's homeless. Too busy building luxury apartments with stupidly high service charges. 5 star hotels most of ones dying out were 3 star at best! Like grand in northern parade.

    They have just shut the yate,s wine lodge down in Bolton 😢

    • 16 hours ago

    I thought they were going to pull them all down and resort casinos like Las Vegas. Where people don't have to go out gambling, restaurants and shows and accommodation is all inside.

    • 16 hours ago

    I would have imagined that all of these former pubs and B&B’s in Blackpool would have been demolished and either developed into brand new luxury apartments for the super-rich or turned into some kind of “regeneration” project for the local council

    A could just sit and listen to the waves coming in all day. Great video paul

    I live nearby to Clifton drive . I’ve been wondering for a while what’s going to happen to the Amberbanks care home. It’s a nice residential area that should be converted to apartments , but I bet it won’t be.

    • 16 hours ago

    Hi Paul such an interesting video didn’t realise how Blackpool really is and such a waste of those once lively hotels it’s like now there’s no people anywhere such a shame the seaside towns have gone like this
