Hi Jane, This is just a little information about the Livery Stables you mentioned in this video. In 1866, Uttley, Brown & Greenwood opened their Clifton Livery Stables on Church Street in Blackpool. They ran buses to Lytham and Fleetwood and along the promenade. They also ran wagonettes from Clifton Livery Stables to Marton, watering horses at what became the Oxford Hotel at Oxford Square.
Great to see you back Jane. Very interesting video, thank you. Sad to see the lovely British Heart Foundation furniture shop closed down. I loved that shop. As Blackpool residents, we went for free to the Showtowm museum on a nice quiet day. Very interesting history for adults and lots of hand on things for the kids to do. Well worth a visit. We saw a man half way up the Tower on Tuesday. The Comedy Carpet looks lovely without that horrible wend break up. But did you notice something missing? No blue flag again this year. Sadly no blue flag at St Chad's Headland this year, we had one there last year. I am glad to see one at Bispham and I am delighted for the people of Cleveleys you, Kevin and Derek included, that you have two blue flags. I was so disappointed for you all, last year (June 22), when sewage was dumped into the sea during a heatwave. Shame you missed the opening of the new tram extension last week. I was disappointed not to go on the heritage tram that went up and down Talbot Road on Saturday 15 June, but I did manage to film it. I'm looking forward to seeing your video. Take care Jane xxx
Great to see you Jane and welcome back 👍 have missed you and your great vlogs 😁 hope you are feeling much better and as always a fabulous walk about today 😁 looking 👀 forward to your food review and take care 🤗 until next time, Pauline from Blackpool living in Canada 🍁
Just arrived back on the south coast and have a notification! Cannot believe I was lucky enough to bump into Jane today during a fleeting visit..... as charming in real life as on the big screen...... and that amazing accent is real, not dubbed over folks.....
So very good to see you back and making lovely videos for us Jane. We have missed you but you did the right thing of course. Kris and I were in Blackpool yesterday [Friday] and we enjoyed the good weather before it turned a bit moist at the time to go home anyway. The best thing about Blackpool is that there is plenty to do whatever the weather and whatever the time of day ... and we expect night too! There are so many car parks both existing and planned. Watching this film it brought to mind how things must have been in the 1890's. The old ordinance survey maps do not show much space that would have been used for carriages to park but we know that before motor charabancs there were similar horse drawn vehicles. Maybe the carriages etcetera were parked in the yards of pubs and the horses taken to livery stables such as the one anent the burned out nail bar? What would Victorian ladies thought about nail bars - and most of what we see in the resort currently come to that? There will have been many shops selling ornaments with souvenier annotations on and of course ice cream sold in glass "Penny Licks" as well as places like Robert's Oyster Rooms. There are many old films and still photographs featured on RU-vid of Blackpool in early days. How wonderful it would be to see a film shot as a 'vlog video' maybe coming off the pleasure steamer onto the jetty at North Pier, amongst the throngs of tourists in sunday best pomp enjoying an open air dance [before it was demoted to Central Pier!] Then a promenade stroll seeing and being seen - maybe as far as the beach fair to the 'Guess your weight' or the Lido or maybe an open air brass band. A possible visit to Raikes pleasure gardens or in the successive era to the new Winter Gardens? Maybe a trip to the sky on the Big Wheel in a railway carriage style conveyance? What a treat it would be to see that. Much, much later we have John Betjeman's poem about life as a tourist and the Bed and Breakfast experience with some landladies charging 6d a week extra "For use of Cruet" It would be interesting to hear what you have to say about what seaside resorts on the Yorkshire seaboard were and are like, was the air as "Bracing" as the adverts used to say? Well Jane, thanks to you we have had an extra day at Blackpool thanks to your vlog. Thank you ... now rest that leg! :-)
@@bredaquirke7362 I agree, I have enjoyed small craft pleasure trips out and back from Whitby harbour, it makes the seaside experience so much better. It might be a case of health and safety which is easier to control in a harbour situation than a jetty with floating pontoons and a 30 foot difference between low and high tide in Blackpool. These days individual life jackets might be mandatory :-)
@@erykfreethinker7147 you're right Blackpool wouldn't be suitable for boat trips with health and safety reasons, but it would be wonderful if we could go on boat trips from Fleetwood that are longer then 5 minutes xxx
Hi Jane thank you for another great video as always nice to see you im so pleased that your feeling better ive spent many a happy time in Blackpool town centre i hope that Kevin and Derek are well have a lovely evening xx
Call off the search party, Jane's back everyone. Normal service has been resumed. Good to have you back but take things easy until you are back to full fitness. 👍
We will be in your neck of the woods on Saturday for a few days Jane. We'll be hopping on the tram to Cleveleys and 'thusband' will be calling in all of the charity shops and that 2nd hand book shop at the top of the road (same side as Grimes butchers) for his 'retirement book list' 😁.
Welcome back Jane, so glad your feeling better, and getting out and about. How is your dad ?. Give him my love and Kevin. Take my friends and stay safe. ❤❤❤
Hi Jane very nice to see you back on your videos again hope you are feeling a lot better and on the road to recovery till next time biker 🚴 Dave hope you get well soon

I loved that that DWP building looks like a sky scraper I wonder how long they will stay there!!!!! Well done much appreciated till the next one 😊
Hi Jane good to see you out and about after your COVID break! You can tell you have not been ill as your voice is still weak! Good to see Blackpool in the sunshine... It is much the same here in Bognor Regis on the English Riviera... Take care of yourself and please give my best wishes to the teaboys...
Never had covid and worked and mixed with people all the way through the mad times, none of my family either, can’t understand it really, the only thing we have in common is we’re all unvaccinated, maybe coincidence, I tested positive a couple of times with the PCRs, but l dipped them in puddles, if anyone hasn’t woken up by now they’re either stupid or scared
Think it's down to your natural constitution - some people will be more susceptible than others. I'd rather have the jabs and keep safe without being neurotic.
@@visitfyldecoast fair enough Jane, but I’ve worked for pharmaceutical companies, these so called vaccines are not vaccines and are not tested, l only tell people this because it clears my conscience, l tell friends and family to do their own research and not just rely on my information, there is a mountain of evidence out there now, three people l was best man for, heart attack, stroke and Bell’s palsy
Unfortunately very few Covid jabs are being given out this time. Only Elderly people and cancer patients and survivors are getting them. A nurse at my GP practice told me, she also said that not even nurses like her are getting the jabs. Jane, I hope your Dad's got his and that he is much better. Xxx
