South Promenade from the Pleasure Beach to Squires Gate, where the trams loop around to head back north has been redeveloped and laid out.
Gone are the 1930s rockeries and sunken neo-classical arenas. New railings and elevated promenades and - gasp! In Blackpool??? - grass borders! |

A collection of modern sculpture is displayed, including this clever piece, a series of slots in a board that when seen with the light behind it is almost photographic.
A rather strange subject maybe... Yell for help if you can't work it out! |

Left: this piece has aroused a certain controversy in the town. Have a look through the window for the complete experience - I'm not spoiling it here!
Right: the old Solarium used to be filled with tropical plants, tables and a cafeteria. Now it is boarded up and all the windows at the top are smashed. It is in desperate need of a decision whether to renovate or get rid of! |

The Big One rollercoaster on the Pleasure Beach dominates the skyline in this part of Blackpool. |

The large hotels in this area are popular with older visitors who prefer the quiet.
Right: parking on the Promenade is now at a Pay and Display cost! Hoteliers hate this type of vehicle with a vengeance! |
