Hi all,


Not posted pics for a while smile

Through a series of events I found myself in Blackpool last Saturday. So with the hurried purchase of a 1 hour parking ticket I took off...





Comments and crits welcomed smile


Cheers.

I'm not sure if it's the effect you were going for but you've made it look like a right sh*t tip! Is is it actually that grotty up north?

I live a couple of miles away, and generally try to avoid it. It's fairly nasty for the most part, though some of the renovated parts in the town centre are quite nice.

To the OP; Nice pics smile

Great pics but yes it really is that bad apart from the hideously expensive promenade. Absolutely pointless window dressing; its still Blackpool after all.

It's a very accurate depiction of Blackpool. How somewhere so close to Lytham (which is lovely, despite the pensioner invasion) can be so grim I have no idea.
Lovely pictures though, albeit of an awful place hehe

Thanks for the comments guys smile

I'm not much of a seaside person at the best of times, but the unique ambience took me back a bit hehe

Think some work better than others, but it always seems to work out like that smile
