  • I take a drive around Blackpool Victoria Hospital which is close to Stanley Park and Blackpool Zoo in the town. There is a lot of work going on after the old mental health ward (Parkwood) was demolished, and it appears they are building a Nightingale section on the south side.

    Another good one Stephen. I think you turned on to North Park Drive at one point with the posh houses?
    Don't be paranoid about 'Please subscribe'. I think most youtubers will.

    Hi Steve, I left Blackpool in 1981, and watch your videos with great interest, and enjoyment. I used to play tennis at the indoor court, behind Stanley Park, and would catch the bus to the hospital, and back home again afterwards. I'm sure the bus stop where I caught the bus home was on Whinney Hays Rd, when the hospital was much smaller, I just couldn't recognize where the place used to be now. Thank you very much for all you do, for those of us who can't get back to Blackpool. I, like another person on here, now live in Canada. I also love the driven videos, keep doing what your doing! Out of curiosity, I don't suppose you could drive by 550 Lytham Rd, I used to go to school there, I was told by someone that they had changed it into flats. Cheers, Ruth.

    Think you would need one of those segways to get from one side of that corridor to the other side, something with a bit of speed. I remember when I did my arm in and was put in the adult ward upstairs where the posh rooms are. Nice up there. Also the hospital food tasted really good lol

    Anyone watch Haunted Hospitals on TV? The Vic certainly has at least one spook. My wife used to work there as a domestic around 20 years ago and one day she looked through the glass into a side ward to see a fully dressed man at the end of the bed, looking down at the patient. When she then went into the room, though, the patient was the only one there, in bed and in his hospital gown. Obviously she mentioned it to staff and all the nurses were aware of the existence of the ''apparition''. Don't think it was a sign that the patient was going to die, just something that happened from time to time. This was in the old part of the hospital, off that long main corridor. As they say, every nurse has a ghost story!
