Cleveleys & The Fylde Coast

This office building under construction in Blackpool will have a good view of Blackpool Tower.

I was walking down this slope in Anchorsholme Park, when something hit me hard on the back of the leg, sending me flat, with a bloody hand where I landed on a stone. Her parents were most apologetic, but she was too busy crying to bother. She was unhurt. They should have a "Beware of Toddlers" sign.

The former Norcross Civil Service office site on the border between Cleveleys and Blackpool. It looks like some serious pipework was soon to be laid.

During a June heatwave, I was very grateful to have this overhang of the middle promenade on the lower promenade at Blackpool.

Blackpool Tower, as seen by many Blackpudlians.

It looks like this bicycle was abandoned on the promenade at Norbreck in Blackpool because it was too uncomfortable to ride.

The boulders at the edge of the sea defences in the north of Blackpool get their own plastic sheets to sit on.

A shop in Cleveleys in transition from a butcher's to a bar. The bar has now opened. Many bars have opened in Cleveleys recently. The old ladies who inhabit the place must be turning to drink.

A few months ago, I posted a photo of the Ex Catalogue shop in Fleetwood, saying that because it had closed down, it was now the ex Ex Catalogue shop. Now that it has been destroyed by fire, we can call it the ex ex Ex Catalogue shop.

Victoria Square in Cleveleys partly closed in June. I think it was for part of the gas mains renovation.
