Mr teeth who is bothered about seeing shitty Blackpool and Kirkham do something else
You tool get your teeth sorted out
You are so tough, to pick on someone on a computer, this is someone’s dad, someone’s family member. Let us know where you live so we can kick your teeth in.. I will gladly meet you anytime, anyplace ,anywhere!
Brett, have you tried not being a complete tool?
I used to do my courting in the back of my Mini Van reg no PTB 698 C by the Westby Brick Company in Anna's Road... Very Very Happy Days...
Being from kirkham myself.i love seeing people appreciating the town and looking around at everything
The building just before Kirkham being renovated was a swimming baths, my Auntie lived on that council estate behind the fire and ambulance station, I spent many a happy holiday there when my Mum and Dad used to pack me off there to get some peace. RIP Auntie Marion I miss you.
Has the baths closed down ? Many happy memories of taking my daughter there.
@@mikebryan7060 I think it is earmarked for demolition. They have wasted millions on the pedestrianisation scheme which has made the roads a bottle neck (presumably the idea).
I grew up here and it was fantastic seeing your tour. Thanks for making it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
My best friend is from Kirkham, but lives here in the U.S., now. Thank you for sharing this, so I could see where he's from. I love your unscripted, unpolished style! It's far more "real" than most travel blogs, and feels more personal. Don't change that!
Thanks for watching. I'll keep it real!
Hello, fellow video watcher.
Thank you for filming my home town, I live in Wesham and its so beautiful and amazing!
great material. Kirkham has now undergone a scheme called 'Kirkham Futures' - where they have narrowed the road, abolished the fish stones car park and widened the pavement. It seems to have been a disaster for small businesses, many have since closed. This video appears to have been made before the scheme commenced.
Worked for a week in the old Coop in Kirkham when it was closing down in the 80s.Think from memory it was the Red Rose Carpets shop.
I was impressed by AFC Fyldes stadium. In comparison to some stadiums currently in the EFL that deserves to grace league football. Keep up the good work sir.
What a lovely area! I've only been past on the train, so not seen it's obvious beauty. I look forward to seeing Kirkham and Wesham part 2! Thanks for a great video!
Visited Kirkham sometimes as a child, we had rellies there. Enjoyed the Cleveleys walk you did too. Thornton is nice for a walk about.
Being new to the area, but totally familiar with everything you presented; I really loved it! The area is so manageable to get around. What some might not readily see is that the area feels pleasant ❤I'm looking forward to doing some of the walks!
That church that had the scaffolding around it that you said that they were trying to make into some flats… Used to be the old Kirkham baths years ago in the 70s
Good video tonight I know kirkham very well so it's a good choice you picked this video I know all the streets are very hilly I've walked up and down the hilly streets of kirkham it's worst going up then coming down ,yeah you will have passed the old fire station Marsden street I know the street very well I've walked down Marsden street many times as a kid with my grandparents to Morrison's it's nice to see you a live stream again it brings back nice memories for me haven't seen kirkham for 11 years since my grandparents died thank you for the live stream tonight been nice I remember market day I always went with my Nan and grandad , there is the willows church as well I would get that church on your next video kirkham holds a lot of history maybe something to talk about on the next live stream
Thank you for this video, much appreciated.
Of all the ambulance stations on the Fylde, Wesham is my favourite. No stress, no hassle, and when Blackpool opens up then everybody moves into it leaving all the satellite stations unloved. 😪
I haven't seen the Fox;'s biscuit factory since I worked there for a year in 1968 - thanks for the memory!
Hi another very interesting video lots to see look forward to your next video best wishes to y
I used to go to Diocese meetings in Kirkham. Never considered it connected to Wesham in those days.
Stephen, go to Thornton. It's a lovely village and go down past Stanah to the Riverside. A really nice walk.
Book Bean & Ice Cream used to be known as Silverdell's about ten years ago.
The building with the scaffolding on is the Kirkham baths which has been shut because the roof blew off
Hello again Stephen
You definitely know your way around the area
Thanks again Stephen
Great video as always Stephen, never been before but passed through it many times on the train to Blackpool North.
Great town. My boys went to Kirkham Grammar School as boarders when i was overseas in the RAF
This should be worth waiting for m8
Ta pal.
Hi there Stephen ,the NHS building on the market square is a doctors and was originally a manor house. It is absolutely massive inside. The Chinese restaurant used to be a pub up til about 20 yrs ago . Great film of a town I know really well.
Thanks Mike.
Really not sure, maybe I am wrong but I always thought it was a pub previously
Hello from Blackpool. Love all your videos, ❤️
Enjoying the content thank you.
Yes the fire station relocated in the 90's
Hi Stephen thank you for another great video as always looked very nice I like to see different areas looked like a nice lot of shops in Kirkham take care xx
Handy video ..thanks
Hi Stephen hope you are well 👋👋
Yes thanks Myra.
It's "Wessum", don't get it wrong!
And don't get caught crossing the railway bridge in an attempt to get into Kirkham on a Saturday night....
I enjoyed watching your video on kirkham,an old English countryside small town ...very quite and peaceful area. I never visit kirkham though l met many of mine ex students from kirkham Grammar school..
Unfortunately, Kirkham now has very real problems with alcohol and drug fuelled antisocial behaviour in the evenings.
Glad you enjoyed it
Good evening everyone, my town :)
sounds like a Yorkshire launderette.. kirkham and "wesham" lol.. looks a nice place 👍
A friend lives here.
Trilanco is a horse, pet and agricultural product wholesaler. They do all sorts of stuff from animal powders to riding equipment
great video
Great walkabout nice to see different place. Be careful adding many mods although you get busy CZcams limits your play list cause it thinks you get trouble on your channel if you need a lot of mods
I think somebody gave you some bad information. CZcams doesn't punish channels for having too many mods. They are more likely to punish a channel that doesn't moderate comments or messages that are against their terms of service.
My grand parents used to have a big static caravan there in kirkham when I was growing up looks like it's changed with the Aldi and burger king etc I used to call it luck em and wash em I was only 5 lol foxes biscuits been there years
Great video mate 👍 👌
I have just been informed that My family actually originated in this town on my dads side. Before our family packed up and moved to the united states a long time agi
Well, at least you get to see where you could have grown up!
That housing estate is just a clone of thousands up and down the UK. Small gardens and occupying ground that was used , years ago , to grow food. These houses are only supported by the cheap money policies of government since 2009. If there is a recession then those houses will have seriously negative equity. Still, your tours are very interesting. Thanks
Originally Kirkham and Wesham fc started on the playing field opposite where they are now located, they then moved to Warton.
Brilliant that video Stephen and the test was great.
Stephen we can't see the tower😂😂😂😂😂
Nice one Stephen 😎
I enjoyed that.
😊🍻👍🏻
I’ve seen the signs but never visited but enjoyed your video Stephen 👍
the church with all the scaffolding is getting a new roof as the last one blew off everywhere during the last storm ahaha
The NHS building started life as the school for the Anglican church. It is now a doctors
You should come to burton mate the streets are lined with terraced houses and trying to park anywhere is a nightmare.
I visited Burton on a pub/brewery trip back in early April pal. I also made a video there for friends, but if you want to watch it I can send you a link if you get in touch via the website, ta
If that image was a Griffin, maybe that was Midland Bank in the past?
Cromers got these sort of places dotted everywhere and there's always a Burger King or a place to eat The houses are OK not my cup of tea but if I could get one on the cheap I'd probably buy it I'm more into older stuff My late mum lived in a Suffolk village called Kersey nr Hadleigh and Lavenham where they made the Vincent Price movie The Witchfinder General All those villages look just the same as 6 to 700 years ago Crooked cottages and village ponds Manor Houses that seem to lean in every angle If you're ever out that way Stephen check it out Ipswich is the main central town and a car comes in handy but there are some nice walks My mums buried in Kersey cemetery and my dad's ashes are scattered there Nice vid as always Stephen thanks I'm a bit poorly at the mo so I'm going to have a day watching some of your vids The night walks are brill and your escapades at the police station had me in fits so that's what I shall do cheers from David Cromer
Thanks David. That area sounds very nice, so I should visit sometime. More edgy videos to come this autumn!
That was the old fire station
Great video cheers 👍
Thanks Tracey 👍
