A big disappointment last year when I couldn't take a stroll down memory lane, I used to work there. Had many a ride on The Big One.Meanqueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02705837426373680532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3474288843010980830.post-50290185934122832122012-07-13T11:10:14.905+01:002012-07-13T11:10:14.905+01:00I don't go on roller coasters, too much of a w...I don't go on roller coasters, too much of a wuss, and I definitely wouldn't go on The Big One, far too high.

The horses you mentioned may be the gallopers in the Pleasure Beach. Last time I went on them I was a little girl and they whizzed round so fast they nearly threw me off! I'm not too sure where your ghost in the pub is - I'll have to research that one. There is a ghost train at the Pleasure Beach - I don't think you walk though.<br />xxMumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08442767679857541996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3474288843010980830.post-50414302951881030092012-07-12T20:20:17.311+01:002012-07-12T20:20:17.311+01:00I loved this as i had a chance to go to Blackpool ...I loved this as i had a chance to go to Blackpool when I was over there 10 years ago,butI did not see any of these sights we were all around the area where we had gotten off fron Cleverleys we went to a place where we had a race horse ride the horses were almost life sized and a ghost walk where you came out in the middle of the pub,very embarrassing seeing we had screamed all the way lol but just wonderful memories bought back and new places that I had not sen,I would have loved to have seen the ballroom that people tell me about,maybe I will get a chance another time.Lovely mum thanks.carole johnstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05721058683205450682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3474288843010980830.post-70837727384010465232012-07-12T19:12:28.365+01:002012-07-12T19:12:28.365+01:00The view across the sea is one I remember from chi...The view across the sea is one I remember from childhood.

It has tipped down all day here. We are drenched and half flooded :-(<br /><br />Lovely to see the old photos of Blackpool. I expect that`s how it looked on the day that my OH`s late parents met, on a summer day trip to Blackpool from their West Yorkshire town.Dartford Warblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04352965211143836326noreply@blogger.com
